As have most great leaders, Caesar, Richelieu, Talleyrand, Napoleon, and Bill Gates attained their objectives in part by fighting.  Interestingly, all followed the same principles of fighting – principles as frequently applied as they are rarely discussed.  Indeed, all learned the principles in part by studying the lives of their predecessors; Gates’s hero, for instance, was Napoleon – so much so that to study Napoleon’s strategies and tactics is to study Gates’s.  This presentation will examine these leaders’ great resolve; their methods of thinking, formulating their objectives, and studying their rival; their striking the rival's vital points; their striking swiftly at the critical time; their striking in combination; their creating or exposing vital points in the rival; and, their parrying the rival’s strikes.
