Despite the fact that human beings are prone to mistakes, these emperors are significant in the sense that we can learn from their strengths as well as their weaknesses and mistakes.
A lot of miseries that people go through whether leaders or not can be solved by making use of the lessons obtained from emperors and other prominent people. A lot of these emperors, regardless of their rule and style of leadership, are a great source of wisdom in one way or the other. From them, we can learn about the world in general, the way we should live as human beings, and how to handle the pressures of leadership and life in general (Green, 2020). One of the ways through which learning about these emperors is significant is that they help people figure out issues on prosperity and how to bring peace. Planning about succession, which was common among many of these emperors, is also a good lesson that people can rely on.
From their philosophies, we can also learn about business ways and how to manage our daily lives. In terms of socializing and mobilizing people, these people can show us the way forward, as well as forming intelligence network that works for a good leadership (Green, 2020). Lastly, these emperors and other prominent leaders help in figuring out the best ways to deal with change, as well as how leaders and people in general can adapt to significant changes while at the same time preserving the most important parts of the past.
