The Art of War Guide to Business Leadership

Few texts have traveled as far from their origins as The Art of War, an ancient treatise on warfare that has since found its way into boardrooms and leadership strategy. Business journalist Dominic Hale reads Sun Tzu through a contemporary lens, drawing on examples from the modern business world to show how centuries-old principles translate into practical leadership skills. Expect guidance on the traits that distinguish strong leaders, ways to sharpen your own management approach, how to map out a strategy for success, and how to get to the heart of a problem rather than its symptoms. The complete original text of The Art of War is included, so Sun Tzu's own words remain close at hand alongside Hale's analysis.
