Key Notes
Jiang defines the strongest organization through hierarchy, purpose, selflessness, love, money, secrecy, discipline, energy, and negative emotions generated by sin.
Jiang says spiritual purpose can make people capable of feats modern materialist people find unimaginable, such as extended meditation or physical austerity.
At Pharsalus, optimate pressure overrides Pompey's preferred containment strategy, and Caesar's disciplined army withstands the cavalry hammer-and-anvil maneuver.
By Munda, Jiang says Caesar's soldiers are so disciplined that they can attack uphill and destroy an enemy army, showing the extreme power of his force.
Jiang defines the great general as bold, disciplined, fair, and concerned with power, organization, logistics, and the movement and feeding of armies.
Jiang's alternative military-strength model asks whether soldiers are cohesive, disciplined, and devoted.
In Jiang's founder model, successful founders need innovation or wise judgment, a vision that attracts workers, fairness in talent promotion, and selfless discipline that demonstrates loyalty to the organization.
Jiang identifies great world leaders such as Genghis Khan, Muhammad, Napoleon, and Julius Caesar as sharing three traits: strategic vision, revolutionary innovation, and selfless discipline.
