STRATEGIZE LIKE CAESAR
This creative business book filters history's greatest leaders through the insights of modern business strategy. It offers practical guidance for leaders and executives seeking tested strategies for long-term resilience, for their businesses and for themselves.
Business leaders are enjoined to "think strategically," expect the unexpected, and plan for long-term success. But in today's fast-
paced marketplace, it is often hard to distinguish between the challenge and the opportunity, or to see both. How many of today's brilliant business moves will hold up a decade from now, or next year? For wise strategic thinking, leaders need a vision that reaches beyond the next quarterly report.
History offers a trove of tested business strategies. The Roman Empire and classical Greece left extraordinary records of innovation that offer us a rich field of pure strategic thinking. It's no wonder so many of us still think about the Roman Empire.
Caesar, Alexander the Great, Cleopatra and other icons can teach us how to apply their insights to today's business risks. Entrepreneurs can draw on history to address timeless questions: When should we risk, consolidate, or consider an acquisition? How and when should we decide to innovate? Leaders and career-builders face challenges that Caesar and his peers would recognize: how to show ambition without alienating colleagues, how to navigate major restructuring, how to know when to break out on our own.
Nick Henderson is a business strategist and a history specialist advising startups, Fortune 500 companies, government organizations and NGOs on risk and compliance. He led Scotland's successful same-sex marriage movement and scaled Jerusalem-based VinciWorks from a 12-person startup to a global leader in corporate compliance. Through his weekly webinars, Nick engages nearly 100,000 business leaders.
