On May 1, put on your armor, bring your broadsword, and prepare to do battle. CoREM is presenting Sun Tzu's Art of War, the epic work that has been translated into the language of management. Sun Tzu said, "Your skill comes from five factors. Study these factors when you plan war. You must insist on knowing your situation." Our presentation will begin with a discussion of the five factors and how they apply to leadership. It will end with a battle -- Deming vs. Sun Tzu. Come ready to choose sides. There can be only one! Or can there?
