As I read the title of this blog I could not help but think of the book I am reading. "The prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli. Machiavelli shares his ideas of how a prince should act in order to keep rule of his land. Through out the text he stresses the fact that a Prince should avoid being hated by either his troops or by his people. This idea can be used in any supervising position as well. There is a difference between being hated and and not being liked.You might not be liked but you may be respected vs being hated and not being respected. As I read more of this text I will come back and share any relevant ideas.
