Archetypes Through History and Their Modern Resonance in Corporate Power
For centuries, history and mythology have given us enduring portraits of power: strategists, warriors, visionaries, and disruptors. They are celebrated, feared, exiled, or immortalized. But these stories aren’t relics. They’re patterns. And they still shape how leadership unfolds today.
This 4-part series explores iconic historical and mythological figures through the lens of modern leadership, workplace dynamics, and corporate power.
Who It’s For
Leaders - rising, falling, expanding, evolving
Executives navigating power, loyalty, and visibility
Anyone sensing they’ve stepped into an archetype they can’t yet name
What to Expect
Each essay will spotlight:
- A mythic or historical figure
- Their story and defining traits
- The modern archetype they map to
- Reflections on how this pattern appears in today’s leadership, ambition, betrayal, or exile.
Why This Matters
“The stories of the past still shape the power structures of today.”
Understanding these archetypes helps us decode the unspoken forces inside companies, careers, and cultural moments.
It gives us language for what we’re experiencing, and a map for how to lead through it with awareness, resilience, and clarity.
