Richard gave a speech on 31 October 2012 at Rotman School of Management (University of Toronto) on How to Use Military Wisdom to Win Business Battles. The speech was based on Richard’s book, Brilliant Manoeuvres: How to Use Military Wisdom to Win Business Battles. In the speech, Richard gives his most detailed explanation yet of the timeless military principle of “following the path of least resistance” and how that applies in competitive strategy, motivation and influence, and organizational leadership.
