This body of work in business, sports, philosophy and so on provide the basis for what would eventually become the Playbook, drawing examples from all those competitive arenas.

America's Leading Authority on Sun Tzu's Strategy
The author of the Playbook, Gary Gagliardi, used Sun Tzu's Golden Key Strategy to start and build one of the Inc. 500 fasters growing companies in America. After selling his successful business, Gary "retired" to spend the next twenty years training leaders in the world's largest organizations. At the same time, he wrote a series of award-winning books on using better strategy in decision-making. The articles in the Playbook grew out of these decades of work.

The Playbook for a Networked World
The world was once ruled from the top down. Masters and bosses directing servants and employees. That top-down world is fast becoming history. Our future is a networked world. In the past, the best strategy was to please your boss. Now we have to please a large network of people who are comparing us to others. Sun Tzu's Playbook prepares us for living in this new age. Decision-making by comparison grows more important everywhere every day. Learn why Sun Tzu's strategy is needed in a networked world.
The Basics of Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu saw competition as productive rather than destructive. His saw it as a comparison of alternatives or, what we call "opponents." He doesn't mention "enemies" until the second chapter of his book and there he defines an "enemy" as a great source of resources, not an opponent to be destroyed. Understanding this point of view demands a reorientation. Read about the basic concepts of Sun Tzu's Golden Key Strategy.
