Über diesen Titel

Leadership Lessons from History is a history and leadership podcast exploring the real decisions that shaped the world—for better and for worse.

Each episode examines leadership lessons from history, focusing on critical decisions, leadership failures, power dynamics, and judgment under pressure. From political and military leaders to business, religious, and cultural authority, the show breaks down how leaders actually thought, why they made the choices they did, and what happened next.

Rather than myths or motivational stories, this podcast dives into real historical leadership cases—moments of success, failure, hubris, miscalculation, and unintended consequences. You’ll hear how organizations collapsed, wars were lost, movements fractured, and nations changed course because of a single leadership decision.

If you’re interested in leadership history, decision-making, management lessons, organizational failure, strategy, and how power shapes behavior, this podcast delivers timeless insights without modern buzzwords or empty inspiration.

Leadership Lessons from History Learn leadership by studying what actually happened.

  • James K. Polk: The Dark Horse President

    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.
