It is amazing how many military leadership things you can translate to business. Napoleon, Rommel, Montgomery, the lot of them. Napoleon divided up his army in different unit sizes than his opponents – how do you line up your business divisions? Management from a distance or basically in the front line tank like Rommel did?

If you think it is important that information from througout your company reaches you, are you willing to do innovative strange things because of it? Like Montgomery who had some seven or so 18-20 year olds driving around his army all day that had absolute freedom to look at everything and even to question generals? Just to get Monty his info?
