Yes i do agree because if you rule with fear people will conspire. However if you live an rule with love you will get more people's attention. Yes there are men like that, for example, a captain of a sports team. They lead their team because they love them and care for the sportnand victory
I think that Castiglione thought men should live and act the way he described because if you are kind and show love people may be willing to open up instead of being so fearful. People should lead out of kindness because it would get more people to want to be friends or follow the way you think.
I say Love. I say this because if people fear you to much some might "conspire" and make plans behind his or her back. For example, Julius Ceaser was a powerful leader and many people feared him and he died due to a conspiracy.
An example of a leader that lead through fear was Adolf Hitler. Many people feared him and were scared to speak againt him. I know this because he was in charge of the holocaust, and due to this, many of his subjects were afraid that he would do the same to them. In the end hitler did not succeed. Because he led by fear people started to resent him and sooner or later rebelled.
