Today, Our survey will cover the period . . .

22. From Julius Caesar in 48 BC to Constantine in 337 AD,
and we’ll talk about 1 dictator and 7 emperors.
We’ll look at a 20th century style leader like…

23. Palazzo
Massimo
Augustus ^ and Rome’s first auditor Emperor . . .

24. and an Iraqi invader. . .
Vatican
Palazzo
Massimo

25. and see how they succeeded or failed in their management challenges.
These men didn’t pass their days in orgies or feasting at the vomitorium,
They spent full time managing an empire with techniques
and skills which aren’t very different than those practiced today.
The Roman empire^ they built . . .

26. Imperial Forum
Was a hugely successful organization that
At its peak by 160 AD, spanned 3 continents, a land area approximately the size of the
48 United States.
Today, we will take a virtual walk around Rome and
learn some lessons from the people who built and ran i.

27. Julius Caesar effectively ended
the Republican period in 48 BC.
As a Roman general he conquered Gaul
and ended the running battles with
Rome’s neighbors.

28. Imperial Forum
He then took his legions beyond his authorized territory, crossed the
Rubicon river and marched on Rome.
Like any good takeover artist, he headed straight . . .

29. . . .for the cash
that had
been stashed
as a reserve
against an
invasion by
Gaul, which
was no longer
needed.
^ He then
headed down
the Via Appia

30. To pursue the deposed leader Pompey who
was fleeing to set up a government in exile.
Caesar, always an innovator, understood
how to use modern^ technology and he
had his engineers design machines^.

31. EUR
to attack Pompey’s fleeing ships.But, like so often happens today,
the technology failed him and he had to resort
to traditional warfare to defeat Pompey’s army
Then, after traveling to Egypt and having a son with its queen Cleopatra,
Caesar returned to Rome to manage his empire . . .

32. Palazzo Altemps
and in the Inferno, Dante describes his management style as
“falcon eyed and fully armed”
But like a lot of takeover artists, Caesar didn’t’ have the disposition for management,
First there was managing at headquarters rather than in the field ^ which meant that . . .

33. Skilled politicians like Cicero
were able to promote their
Capitoline
own agenda and oppose
Museum
Caesar’s dictatorship.
Caesar also surrounded
Himself with sycophants,
like Marc Antony who
wanted him to declare
himself King.
While Caesar did make
some reforms in
fundamental areas
such as . . .

34. Palazzo Massimo
. . .a new solar calendar of 365 days.
His ego kept getting in his way , he even named the 5th month July, after himself.
Caesar was guilty of two classical management mistakes.
He was vulnerable to flattery and he
never appreciated the
strength and determination of his opposition.
so on the ides^ of march . . .

35. E tu
Brutus ?
March 44 BC, he was slain at this point in the Pompey theatre by 23 knife wounds.
Every year at the altar of the divine Julius in the Forum . . .

36. flowers are still placed on his tomb.
So, How do we judge Caesar ? As a manager . . .

37. Marc Antony stood here and said “I come to bury Caesar not to praise him”,
according to Shakespeare
But instead of literature, we’ll use Professor Goleman’s criteria.

Self Aware Self Mngt. Social Social Avg.
Aware Skills
I give Caesar low scores in social awareness and social skills,
He was a good talker but a lousy listener and as a result he
didn’t appreciate the strength and conviction of his opponents
and therefore didn’t employ his social awareness and social
skills to win them over , he paid the price, he was assassinated
And he was certainly . . .

39. 1. Coercive . . . forcing
2. Authoritative . . . leading, “follow me”
3. Affiliative . . . People oriented
4. Democratic . . . Consensus
5. Pacesetting . . . Goal setting and achieving
6. Coaching . . . mentoring
A coercive leader with his opposition and detractors, although a
very authoritative leader with his troops and supporters who idolized him.

40. Octavian So having dispatched Caesar, lets turned to his adopted
son and successor, Octavian. After Caesar’s assassinatio
there was a long succession struggle, The 3 contenders
31 BC- 14 AD (MA, Octavian , Lepidus) agreed to power sharing, and divi
