In this episode of The Disciples of Zeus podcast, the hosts Ethan and James provide an in-depth analysis of the 8th law of power from Robert Greene's book "The 48 Laws of Power" - "Make people come to you, use bait if necessary." They discuss the key principles of this law, including using baits like status, availability, financial incentives, and networking to attract people to you. The hosts explore strategies for leaders to establish control and make others come to them, drawing insights from chess tactics and sales experiences.
The conversation covers interpretations of forcing opponents to act according to your plans, creating a "home court advantage," and the reversal of aggressively taking the lead. Ethan and James share personal examples of applying this law in workplace leadership and sales roles. The episode offers valuable perspectives for readers seeking to understand and implement this powerful law of power effectively in business and life.
