Über diesen Titel

The New Leader Playbook is a history and leadership podcast built on the mistakes of the past.

Instead of recycling leadership clichés and motivational myths, this show digs into real historical cases of bad leadership, failed decision-making, and power misused—and turns them into a modern playbook for leaders who don’t want to repeat the same errors.

Each episode explores moments when leaders made the wrong call, ignored warnings, trusted bad advice, or doubled down on failing strategies. From political and military disasters to corporate collapses and cultural breakdowns, the show examines leadership failures from history, decision-making under pressure, power dynamics, and the hidden forces that distort judgment at the top.

This isn’t a podcast about inspirational quotes or founder worship. It’s a narrative-driven look at how leaders fail, why smart people make terrible decisions, and what actually happens when authority meets ego, fear, incentives, and uncertainty.

If you’re interested in leadership lessons from history, management mistakes, organizational failure, crisis leadership, and building better judgment in high-stakes roles—this podcast is for you.

The New Leader Playbook Built from history’s mistakes. Designed for today’s leaders.

    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.
