Listening to Nietzsche: democracy, equality and the implications for management

This paper attempts to dissipate much of the political dissonance which surrounds the work of Nietzsche and tap into his original message: to establish a new social, political and cultural élite which will create a hitherto unimagined flourishing of humanity. For business strategy, this thesis seeks to provide a Nietzschean framework of agonism for managers and leaders to question their thinking by providing a countervailing view to the current assumptions of liberal democracy.
