“How to start a job,
How to proceed,
“How will it end?”

Without being shaken at any moment
2,500 years of wisdom and strategy that finally succeeded!

Two authors, both experts in China, have reinterpreted the Warring States period strategy book "Guiguzi" by adding over 40 Chinese idioms and the strategies used by great strategists in history, such as Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, and Li Shimin, to achieve their goals. They have reinterpreted the message into something that can be applied even in modern times.
This book introduces methods for preparing, progressing, solving problems, making decisions, and successfully completing a task by accurately defining the task, grasping the objective circumstances surrounding it, assessing the situation, and building a network with the people you will work with.
Through this, executives at mid-sized companies or those in charge of large projects will be able to gain wisdom in planning and allocating personnel and resources.
Additionally, those responsible for planning small projects will learn the wisdom of establishing execution methods, persuading those around them to secure necessary resources, and achieving results within the organization.

What is the key to becoming a missionary, as suggested by Guigokja? It is that you must take the initiative.
Being proactive means taking control of your work rather than being swayed by it.
But to get things under control, there's something you have to do first.
It is about thinking, ‘Is this something I can really do?’ and assessing the entire task.
Ultimately, it is a losing battle to first assess the entire situation and then proactively decide whether to advance or retreat.
