Podcast Lesson
"Recognize that historical crimes outlast criminals Holland and Sandbrook explore how reputations and moral judgments survive across centuries. They observed that "the stains of crimes and monstrous deeds committed by those in power endure for all time" and that "condemnation of their actions persists across centuries and cultures." Anyone building power, a company, or a legacy should assume their actions will outlive their narrative control — build as if posterity is watching, because it is.
