The ancient Greeks thought a lot about strategy, which is why strategists in business, politics, and the military still draw on their wisdom today. So what business lessons can we learn from the heroes of the Iliad and the Odyssey? In this episode, we hear from Chicago Booth’s Greg Bunch, who teaches new venture strategy to MBA students and executives. When he’s advising entrepreneurs, when does he urge them to be more like Agamemnon, who was able to bring people together for a common cause, or Odysseus, known for his strategic mind and his ability to outwit opponents, or Achilles, the most skilled of all warriors? And what characteristics do today’s business leaders share with the legendary leaders of ancient Greece?
