Nancy Napier: What a 2,500-year-old book can teach leaders today

In her latest blog post for the Idaho Statesman, Nancy Napier reflects on the most recent translation of Homer’s epic poem, The Iliad. She was inspired to reread this 2,500-year-old story by an article in the Wall Street Journal in December of 2015. Many people may wonder how an ancient story of war, love, and revenge can apply to the modern day business world; Napier explains that the themes of honor, leadership, motivation, and success all present themselves in both The Iliad and today’s businesses.
