How to Deal with Fake Friends or Colleagues – Machiavelli’s Way
Fake friends and colleagues are often more dangerous than open enemies — Machiavelli understood this well. In this video, we explore Machiavelli’s approach to dealing with false allies and quiet manipulation, and how strategic distance and awareness protect your power. Machiavelli warned that loyalty is rarely emotional and often conditional. Those who appear friendly can become the greatest threat if their intentions are misread. By observing behavior instead of words, limiting access, and controlling information, you reduce vulnerability and stay ahead. This video explains how discernment, emotional restraint, and calculated separation help you navigate toxic relationships and hidden rivalries without exposing yourself or creating unnecessary conflict. #machiavelli #psychology #power
