Über diesen Titel

Leadership History You Were Never Taught is a podcast about the leadership stories history class skipped.

This show uncovers the forgotten failures, quiet disasters, and uncomfortable leadership decisions that shaped the world—but rarely make it into textbooks or motivational speeches. These are real moments from history when leaders made the wrong call, followed bad advice, ignored reality, or doubled down when they should have stopped.

Each episode explores leadership mistakes from history, failed decision-making, power dynamics, organizational collapse, and the human cost of authority used poorly. From political and military leadership to religious, corporate, and cultural power, the podcast examines how bad leadership hides in plain sight—and why it’s often remembered incorrectly.

This is not a podcast about heroic founders or polished success stories. It’s about what actually happened, why leaders failed, and how those failures were later softened, reframed, or erased.

If you’re fascinated by leadership history, why organizations fail, how power distorts judgment, and the lessons history only teaches if you’re willing to look past the myths—this podcast is for you.

Leadership History You Were Never Taught Because the most important leadership lessons are usually the ones left out.

    James K. Polk: The Dark Horse President
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode, we explore the chaotic 1844 Democratic convention, where a political deadlock led to the unexpected nomination of James K. Polk, a "dark horse" candidate not even present at the gathering. We then learn how Polk, driven by a relentless work ethic and a clear vision of Manifest Destiny, dramatically expanded the United States during his single term in office.
