- Summary:
- This case invites students to consider an example of adaptable leadership from the Instruction of Ptahhotep, an ancient text written well over 4,000 years ago. The text prescribes good and noble actions for Egyptian leaders to follow. Among the advice the author provides is one conditional set of prescriptions adjusted according to the social status of one's challenger or opponent, and one adjusted for one's own social status. Students are tasked with evaluating how and why ancient Egyptians would adapt their actions towards those of different stations and assessing whether such practice is advisable today.
