Genghis Khan, the Dalai Lama and Sun Tzu. What do these three giants of Asia (past and present) have in common and what can we learn from them that might be applied to business? If we look at who these people were (and in the case of the Dalai Lama; still is) and their philosophies, we see a diverse spectrum of thought. However when we combine these philosophies and apply them at the correct times, a formula of immense potency is born. Let’s look at our main characters and a little of what we can learn from each that can be applied to business.
