Niccolii Machiavelli was a realist who was keen to use what he learned from history and his own direct experiences to forge a handbook for leadership that he "humbly" offered to one who aspired to be The Prince. A group of 23 scholar-practitioners have provided an interpretation of Machiavelli's classic text to 21st Century context and with aspiring educational leaders in mind. They sought to keep Machiavelli's intentions, the essence of this perspectives and the format of his text but contemporizing the work for their own purposes and understandings.
