The Art of War was written over 2500 years ago, but the principles of it are still utilized by the military, government and businesses.
Read the quotes below and then write down the many implications for
businesses and yourselves.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.
One defends when his strength is inadequate, he attacks when it is abundant.
Energy is likened to the bending of a crossbow, decision, to the releasing of a trigger
When the common soldiers are too strong and their officers too weak, the result is insubordination. When the officers are too strong and the common soldiers too weak, the result is collapse.
Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances
Ponder and deliberate before you make your move
Overall, “Every battle is won before it’s ever fought”
