Science and Art of Strategy

Strategic Leadership

“Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.”

                             Cart von Clausewitz

Leadership qualities are essentially the courage, determination, self-control, coup de’oeil and a comprehensive winning mindset that is not easily perturbed or defeated.

Thinking & Living System

As a complex adaptive system, it is an open and living system that adapts and evolves with the environment.
