Sun Tzu, one of the greatest war Masters in the past and also a philosopher, has a saying I love. ” History has never written the greatest leaders of the world because they have never fought, " says Sun Tzu.
I will tell you about the leaders that history has written and the leaders that we do not know.
In the reigns of the great leaders, whose names are not mentioned in history, there was no significant war and thus the people were able to live in peace. True great leaders have not developed good policies with neighboring countries and led their countries to war because they do not want bloodshed rather than seeking victory. But unfortunately history has not written down those greatest leaders because they never fought. When we think of human history, we always think of wars.
And there are leaders who have to fight against their will. Such leaders want peace, but circumstances force them to fight. In fact, if they were not forced to fight, perhaps many of them would not even be leaders, they would continue their ordinary lives. They are the ones who reveal the leadership potential that is at their core due to circumstances, along with their personal characteristics such as feraset, willpower, patience, spirit of struggle.
We will share at least one of these leaders with you every week...
