Jeff Miller, Political Science and International Relations professor at New York State University, shares how ancient Greek Politics reflect on our political landscape today.

The leadership techniques used by many governments and businesses have some glaring shortcomings in many situations. From a lack of diversity to inaccessibility, there may need to be a shift in thinking.
