Thought it was an interesting read. It was nice to have the translated text at the beginning of each chapter to digest the text before reading the synopsis. Dominic Hale does a good job of using modern day examples to illustrate how Sun Tzu’s Art of War can be used in today’s modern world of business. The Chapters are short and use headings to split up ideas so it’s a good book to pick up and put down at their leisure. Great for someone who’s looking for some advice or a code to follow if they are looking to become a strong leader. There are some good ideologies that I will use for years to come. I will certainly come back to this book every so often, and keep it fresh in my mind! Definitely recommend reading!

Written for established corporate executive leaders, not for indivdual contributors wanting to learn about leadership. Very CEO focused examples and advice
