Despite the fact that it was (probably) not written by Plato, I think this is the most "Socratic" dialog that I've read.

Socrates schools, humiliates, and helps Alcibiades, although with no one to witness it, and Alcibiades does not crumble. Why is that, because he's young and arrogant? Any other man would be filled by shame.
People say that this is a doubtful work of Plato, that there is reason to think it was made by someone else, maybe by some disciple. As you read it, you'll notice why, only if you've read previous works of Plato before. So do not read this as your first introduction to him.
Definitely worth the read.

Presents the thesis to a callow Alcibiades that one cannot exercise political power without first cultivating personal virtue.
