In this YouTube commentary, the speaker revisits Robert Greene's first law from The 48 Laws of Power—"Never outshine the master"—and argues that the principle remains relevant in 2023 workplaces. He explains the historical basis of the law, illustrates how modern employees often violate it by trying to outperform their supervisors, and advises listeners to recognize and respect power dynamics, collaborate with superiors, and strategically play the hand they are dealt.
I'm rereading Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power, and in the book he uses a lot of examples from a long time ago. I'm going to show you how these laws still apply today in 2023. The first law of power is never outshine the master. One way I see people violating this law is employees who will try to outdo or outperform their boss in order to get ahead rather than collaborating or being supportive of them. Accept the cards you were dealt and play your hand right by understanding the power dynamics in any given situation.
