Proposal for
presentation of
research

Machiavellian Tips
for today’s technology leaders
Summary of presentation – page 1
• Machiavelli’s suggestions for great leadership in The
Prince sometimes involve bloodshed. These are not
good tips for today’s technology leaders.
• “The use of power to manipulate populations into
compliance and war as a form of mediation are
excellent examples of what not to do in a leadership
role” (Miller, 2013).
Machiavellian Tips
for today’s technology leaders
Summary of presentation – page 2
• The Prince is a study in both best and worst practices
in leadership.
• The purpose of this presentation will be to shed light
on best practices from the 16th Century that are still
relevant, and to illustrate how core principles of great
leadership can be used to shape the future of
technology in higher education today.
Machiavellian Tips
for today’s technology leaders
Summary of presentation – page 3
For example:
• Financial obstacles can bring technology leaders in
higher education to a war stance. Machiavelli speaks
of the art of war. “A wise prince ought to…never in
peaceful times stand idle, but increase his resources
with industry in such a way that they may be
available to him in adversity, so that if fortune
chances it may find him prepared to resist her blows.”

for today’s technology leaders
Summary of presentation – page 4
The importance of planning
Use “peace” time to
identify unexploited
efficiencies (Eyring,
2011) and shore up
reserves for those
dreaded periods when
resources are lean.

Summary of presentation – page 5
How to manage costs

Examining unexploited efficiencies in university
operations can save an average of 20% per
student. (Eyring, 2011) These efficiencies are
identified in the research and quantified using
dynamic charting.
Machiavellian Tips
for today’s technology leaders
Summary of presentation – page 6
Handling people and situations
with clemency
Machiavelli recommends
clemency (not cruelty) in
dealing with others.
Relationships with key
people in higher education
are critical to the success of
technology initiatives.
“A prince ought also to show himself a
patron of ability, and to honour the
proficient in every art” (Machiavelli, 1513).
Technology is restructuring education delivery in post-secondary
institutions. A leader must have new skills to support new
initiatives and to identify talents in those who support technology.
Machiavellian Tips
for today’s technology leaders
Summary of presentation – page 8
Fearlessness in the face of change
Machiavelli talks of being prepared for change like
restructuring shoreline to divert a raging river.
Technology leadership in higher education is the
stop gate for crises like these. The presentation will
discuss this phenomenon and how to do the job
without drowning.

Summary of presentation – page 9

How to lead with integrity
“Yet it cannot be called talent to slay fellow citizens, to
deceive friends, to be without faith, without mercy,
without religion; such methods may gain empire, but
not glory” (Machiavelli, 1513). The presentation will
reveal specific situations where tech leaders can
demonstrate integrity or control with craft.
