This is not strictly about manouver competition, time-based strategy or boydian conflict, but interesting nevertheless, as it illustrates how history can be applied to modern life:
On BNet Corner Office, Fred Smith, the founder and chairman of FedEx, describes the secret to effective leadership, from Alexander the Great onwards:
" It’s the willingness of the leader to put the interests of the organization above his (or her) own interests."
However, leadership is simply a part of a bigger question - the one we're here interested in finding the answer for:
"What is the secret to winning in competitive situations?"
