Yamamoto Tsunetomo. Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai  (trans. Wilson, 2000)

The author dictates a list of ways for a samurai to behave, which is useful for Western management:

  • Be prepared for any situation - consider all tactics and strategies for any possible future occurrences.
  • Matters of great importance should be approached calmly – one should formulate a response to serious issues in advance, so that when one faces a crucial situation it is easy to make a decision.
  • Be decisive – making quick, but accurate decisions is essential for good management
