Crossing the Rubicon!

What modern leaders can learn from the fateful decision making of Rome’s most famous son.

On 10 January 49 BC Julius Caesar took the momentous decision to cross the River Rubicon with his troops, entering Italy from Gaul, where they had been stationed for ten years. Caesar knew that entering Roman territory with an army was tantamount to declaring war on the State. He chose to do so anyway – allegedly uttering the words, ‘the die is cast’ as he crossed over. The war that followed raged for five years & ended with the demise of the Republic & the proclamation of Caesar as Dictator for life. These days, we recognise the expression, ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ as synonymous with the concept of ‘passing the point of no return’ – but, metaphorically speaking, this was not the only time that Caesar ‘crossed the river’ in pursuit of his ambitions. Hosted by Karen Carpenter, this is an interactive zoom event during which we will examine some of those fateful decisions & consider how these might relate to modern dilemmas in leadership & business.
