Sumario: | Distilling the wisdom of Carl von Clausewitz's monumental 1832 classic On War, this book transposes Clausewitz's most enduring concepts on leadership and strategy to help today's executives and managers think like strategists. Tapping into the universal lessons of strategy, it uncovers potential solutions to some of the most obstinate competitive problems and supplies readers with an understanding that integrates historical references with modern business practice. Commentary is inserted at key points in Clausewitz's original text to interpret and transpose his core ideas and to demonstrate how they apply in today's increasingly competitive environment. Maintaining a focus on modern leadership and strategic planning, the book explains how the human element influences the outcome of a competitive confrontation. It provides tips on the physical and psychological dimensions of conflict, which include Clausewitz's discussions about dealing with the inevitable forces of friction, chance, and luck that operate in the "fog of war."-- |
