—————————————
In today’s episode we have the pleasure to interview Darius Lahoutifard author of “Leadership by Cyrus the Great: Unlocking Xenophon's Cyropaedia”
Darius is an accomplished entrepreneur, technology leader, and author. By age 28, he had become CEO of a $10M business. Over his career, he has founded five companies, launched over a dozen innovative software and services, experienced failure twice, and successfully exited twice. Now dedicated to education, Darius founded MEDDIC Academy, a platform pioneering modern blended learning for leaders and business professionals in technology. His clients include all the top 10 global software companies, such as Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services.Born in Iran, Darius moved to France as a teenager after the political changes in his country which profoundly shaped his global perspective and professional path. After a successful career in France, he migrated again, at age of 47, this time to the US. He was admitted under the exceptional ability program.
In this episode, you’ll about his background and what his book is about, how and why leaders don’t need a new way of doing things we can simply look to and apply lessons from 2,500 years ago, how Cyrus the great influenced America’s founding fathers, what greek philosophy has to do with modern day leadership, why the best leadership is done out of love not force, and how you can start to apply leadership lessons from the ancient greek world.
We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation with Darius Lahoutifard
