Saylor Unveils Comprehensive Leadership Curriculum Spanning 953 Hours
Michael Saylor has released a comprehensive leadership curriculum that spans 953 hours of reading and consists of 38 works. The program, titled 'Upgrade the World,' aims to equip leaders with a broad understanding of history, economics, technology, and institutions before making consequential decisions.
The curriculum divides its selections across eight themes, with civilizational history receiving the largest time commitment at an estimated 294 to 359 hours. Readers will also delve into human action, liberty, and political power, which account for another 189 to 239 hours.
The reading list features works from prominent historians and economists, including Will and Ariel Durant's 'The Story of Civilization,' Jared Diamond's 'Guns, Germs, and Steel,' and Nassim Nicholas Taleb's 'Incerto' series. Saylor's own book, 'The Mobile Wave,' is also included.
Bitcoin occupies the culmination of the broader reading program, with the final section recommending Saifedean Ammous' 'The Bitcoin Standard' before directing readers to Satoshi Nakamoto's original white paper.
