The Sun Tzu 7 Secrets to Win in Any Situation From Sun Tzus Art of War book: 1. Seek Victory From the Situation A skilled commander seeks victory from the situation. He knows when the situation is favorable to him and avoids war when it is dangerous to him. 2. Deceive Your Enemy All warfare is based on deception. Even though youre competent, you have to appear as incompetent. When able to attack, we must seem unable, when using our forces, we must seem inactive. When we are near, we must make the enemy believe that we are far; when far away, we must appear near. In short, appear weak when strong, and appear strong when weak. Hence those skilled in war will bring the enemy to the battlefield and not be brought there by the enemy. Supreme excellence lies in breaking the enemys resistance without fighting. Hence the ultimate winner is one that wins without fighting. Or put in another way, the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. 3. Be Invisible and Soundless In war, you need to be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soullessness. 4. Knowledge of Yourself is Paramount If you know the enemy and yourself, your victory will not be doubt. If youre ignorant of both yourself and your enemy, you are certain to be in peril. 5. Make Your Men Willing If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things. To motivate your men to fight, you need to treat them with benevolence, justice and righteousness. 6. Take the Whole and Not Part In the practical art of war, the best thing is to take the enemys country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy your enemys country is most unwise, for youre taking over a useless country. 7. Be Fast Speed is the essence of war. To speed up things, you need to take advantage of your enemys unpreparedness, travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precautions. At the end of the day, you need to believe in yourself if you want to win. Now you too can apply the 2,500 years of wisdom from Sun Tzus Art of War in your Sales, Leadership and Human Resource Management. • Win without Fighting • Lead people with Transformation Leadership ......
