Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu, a Chinese general, military strategist, and philosopher, is best known for his seminal work, "The Art of War." This text, composed during the late Spring and Autumn Period (771-476 BCE), remains a foundational treatise on military strategy and tactics. Sun Tzu served as a general under King Helü of Wu and is credited with numerous military victories that leveraged his strategic insights. One of his notable achievements includes the successful implementation of his strategies in the Battle of Boju in 506 BCE, which led to the defeat of the powerful Chu state. His principles not only emphasized deception and psychological warfare but also the importance of adaptability and planning. "The Art of War" continues to be studied worldwide, influencing both military and corporate strategies.
