The Ruthless Leader: Three Classics of Strategy and Power

y.
Publisher:
Description: The Ruthless Leader What could a fifth-century b.c. Chinese general`s treatise on military strategy and a fifteenth-century Florentine satirist/philosopher`s essay on how to be an effective potentate have in common with advice from a former Treasurer and Deputy Chairman of Margaret Thatcher`s Conservative Party?

The Prince, The Servant, and The Art of War are unrivaled sources for anyone who seeks to understand the elaborate, often brutal, rituals of strategic conduct in any day and age. Each was written by an undeniably perceptive observer of humanity, and each offers unvarnished truths about human nature, especially as it expresses itself in an organization-whether it be political, military, or corporate. In each classic, the author builds on his experiences to develop [detailed...]
