Krause organizes and integrates business-related adaptations of two classic works with the best ideas of modern military and political leaders to create a clear and understandable framework for effective leadership.
Based on Japanese samurai swordsman Miyamoto Musashi's "The Book of Five Rings", this book on tactics for business success is organised around seven principles: ordered flexibility; execution; resources; environment; attitude; concentration; and timing.
For years, business schools and professional consultants have turned to a 2,500-year-old Chinese text for its invaluable commentary on such topics as leadership, strategy, organization, competition, and cooperation. Now the wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War is made accessible to the modern reader. Not simply a new translation, this is the first book to provide a clear, easy-to-follow interpretation of the classic document. The Art of War for Executives reveals the brilliance of Sun Tzu - and shows how to win on the battlefield of modern business.
