What if ancient wisdom from The Art of War could improve your modern leadership skills? Join us for a captivating conversation with James Gimian, co-author with Barry Boyce of  The Rules Of Victory: How To Transform Chaos and Conflict; Strategies from The Art of War, as we explore the interconnected whole and how it applies to setting objectives and understanding complex adaptive systems theory.

Discover the importance of being present and self-aware in leadership, as we discuss situational awareness, the challenges of self-assessment, and the need for emotional intelligence training. Learn from examples in the aerospace industry and even a Taylor Swift song as we delve into the difficulty of self-awareness. Additionally, we explore military conflict management techniques and their applicability beyond warfare, revealing the triad of view, practice, and action as a tool for effective leadership.

Finally, we discuss how shifting our view and leadership strategies can lead to success, by looking at the interconnected whole through emulation, not imitation. We examine the power of mindfulness, psychedelics, and narrative-based approaches, diving into how these practices have been used in the US military and beyond.
