Applying the Principles of Sun Tzu and Confucius - Ancient Strategies for the Modern Business World.
The challenges to leadership are not new, nor are they unique to modern times. The rulers of ancient China spent a great deal of time studying and thinking about leadership, particularly leadership under conditions of great difficulty - the change, chaos and uncertainty caused by war, famine and social upheaval. Taken together, the leadership concepts of two men in particular - the famous general Sun Tzu and the great philosopher Confucius - outline a system for effective leadership that has worked for centuries even under the worst possible conditions.
'The Way Of The Leader' brings the philosophical vision of 'The Art Of War' and 'The Analects Of Confucius' to the bottom line. Donald Krause organises and integrates business-related adaptations of these two classics with the best ideas of modern military and political leaders. In so doing he creates a clear and understandable framework for effective leadership that can be used successfully by individuals and organisations in today's competitive international business environment.
This book is designed to be a schematic for victory; a road map to success. By using the ideas of Sun Tzu and Confucius, in conjunction with effective management practices, you can and will become a better business leader.
