Summary: Is it better for a leader to be loved or to be feared? In chapter 17 of The Prince, Machiavelli, perhaps not surprisingly, deems "cruelty" preferable to "mercy" simply because it's safer, but he does warn against taking cruelty too far. In this program, successful leaders offer a range of opinions about Machiavelli's advice. With publisher Larry Flynt (Hustler), who feels an atmosphere of intimidation will not yield the most productive workers, and Jan Carlzon, Mads Øvlisen, Dame Anita Roddick, John Dunn, Stan Shih, Steven Hilton, Richard Valdemar, and Bruce Cohen.
