Genghis Khan

Just finished watching a one hour documentary on Genghis from the BBC. Well produced, and quite riveting. Did a good job on explaining Genghis' superb generalship (no, I do not approve of his violent methods, but you can't help but admire his strategic thinking ...), but only really hinted (I guess because of the time allowed) at the "civilian" infrastructure he put in place to hold the empire together. Would have been worth two hours of filming!

I quite like the "guide to management" Jennifer Quinn of the BBC wrote alongside the program.
  • Profit share
  • Hate office politics
  • Run a meritocracy
  • Embrace change
  • Think ahead
Nothing new under the sun?
