This clip from JULIUS CAESAR [1953] opens with Brando as Mark Antony, grieving a just-murdered Caesar. BUT... at 2:30 moves to a speech from Brutus, played by James Mason. WOW!! I'd never heard Mason project his voice like this! I'm so used to his soft-spoken sophistication 🧐

I read over 1,000 pages on Julius Caesar's leadership, these are my five top takeaways... 1. Caesar inspired his troops by fighting alongside them. In a battle against the Helvetii he rode to the frontlines, then sent away his horse to show that he would endure the battle with his soldiers. No matter the outcome. This inspired his men to fight for him, as he shared their danger. Key Lesson- You must always work alongside your employees. Let them know you share in their suffering. 2. Caesar always moved with speed and agility. Napoleon said: "The strength of an army, is estimated by multiplying the mass by the rapidity" The Romans under Caesar were not only the best engineers, but they were also the fastest. This gave them speed and agility both in travel, and in warfare. Key Lesson- Speed and agility. Speed and agility. Speed and agility. 3. Caesar expected his troops to always be ready. “He also made a habit during campaigns of not announcing the hour of the army’s departure beforehand as he expected his men to be prepared to follow him at any time." Key Lesson- You must expect your employees to always be ready. Always keep them moving. Never let stagnation settle in. 4. Caesar pushed his troops to the absolute limits. From his biography: "No Roman general ever pressed his troops harder than Caesar, but no army ever followed its leader more willingly." Key Lesson- Push your troops hard. It simply builds moral. 5. Caesar instilled a meritocracy. Also from his biography: "Caesar didn’t care what kind of background his men came from, wether they were Roman patricians by birth of the sons of a goatherd. All that mattered to him was how they conducted themselves in war." Key Lesson- Give room in the organization for talent to rise up in the ranks. This encourages performance.

Why was Caesar Rome's Greatest General? (new Cost of Glory video) I think the best illustration may be his Pharsalus campaign, where he faced Pompey and the combined grand army of his optimate antagonists, in the Civil War. It began with Caesar's humiliating strategic loss at Dyrrhachium. But one of Caesar's master strokes: In a campaign in which everyone else (including most historians today) thought Caesar had time working against him. He *kind of* did, since Pompey was vastly better provisioned with food, money, ships, etc. But Caesar realized an opportunity to turn the tables: When he retreated to the wide plains of Thessaly, great cavalry country, he was luring Pompey into a position where Pompey was obviously superior (Pompey had 7x the cavalry that Caesar did). Pompey kept refusing battle, knowing Caesar's great strength, while trying to make it look like Caesar was the one refusing battle (really Pompey was just offering it on insane terms, outside his fort, up on a hill). But Caesar was just waiting for the pressure to build on Pompey (much of the senate was literally watching, while camped out with Pompey, and getting impatient). Caesar at last called Pompey's bluff, and packed up to retreat. Now, if Pompey let Caesar go when he had him on easy territory, he'd be revealed as timid. Caesar knew that, to stay at the top of Rome's leadership, Pompey couldn't just wear Caesar down in a war of attrition. He had to challenge him man to man. The whole campaign came down not so much to military supremacy, as to a clash of egos, of politics, and Caesar exploited this fact to the maximum. To settle it then and there was militarily and strategically unnecessary, the military risk/reward calculation was bad. But Caesar offered a temptation too great to refuse for someone whose objective was not pure victory, but securing his reputation. Not unlike Alexander's approach to Darius III! Pompey marched out, fought, and lost. Battle details herein:
