Julius Caesar, a Roman among the Romans.
Caesar, the hero who became a legend because of his unprecedented feats and amazing human charm.
A must-read for both business leaders and politicians.

Caesar had to take several measures at once.
Raising the red flag.
This is to order the soldiers to run to the place where the weapons are placed and take up their weapons.
Blowing the assembly trumpet.
This is to order the soldiers engaged in the work of setting up the camp to stop their work and assemble, and to also call back the soldiers who went to collect the materials needed for setting up the camp.
In addition, there was a need to blow trumpets to get the troops in line, make speeches to encourage the soldiers, and blow trumpets to signal the start of battle.
However, this becomes mostly impossible when the enemy surprises you.
Caesar did not obsess over what he thought was impossible.

The die has been cast.

The most impressive passage is... I think it's when you cross the Rubicon River.
As I finish volume 4...
The crossing of the Rubicon River was the biggest change in Caesar's history...
Caesar spoke to his staff nearby.
'It's already spilt milk... (omitted)' and he said to the soldiers...
'Let us go forward, to where the gods await, to where the enemy who has defiled our honor awaits.
The die is cast~!' The most memorable phrase is... I think it was when crossing the Rubicon River.

It's already spilt milk.
If I cross this river, the human world will become miserable, and if I don't cross it, I will be destroyed.'
'Let us go forward, to where the gods await, to where the enemy who has defiled our honor awaits.
The die is cast!'
The soldiers responded with a loud shout.
Then, following Caesar who was riding ahead, they crossed the Rubicon River as one body.

When it comes to delegating tasks to someone, people can be divided into two groups depending on how they do it.
Some people give very detailed instructions and leave it to the person to do, while others give the person a task but don't give detailed instructions and just leave it to that person to do.
It has little to do with whether you completely trust the other person or not.
The former is someone who works easily when given detailed instructions, while the latter is just the opposite.
Caesar belonged to the latter group.
However, choosing the latter is a gamble, so it often doesn't work out well.
In such cases, the person who assigned the work must take care of the aftermath.

Even cases that don't go well can be divided into two categories.
Not everything may go well, or some things may go well, but others may not.
Therefore, you need to decide whether you need to deal with the aftermath right away or whether you can leave it as is for the time being.

Cinna, who had been proclaiming himself Marius' successor, felt the urgent need to establish countermeasures for Sulla, who would one day return home, when news of Sulla's success in the Orient reached him.
He was confident of the public's support because he had enacted many policies that had received public applause.
But, as the word "demokratia" suggests, the past three years have been a "dictatorship of the majority."
