One Objective at a Time“Throughout his life
Genghis Khan eliminated his
opponents one by one. He never neglected to bear in mind the ever-changing balance of power with which he
was regularly threatened.”
“Genghis Khan, Conqueror of the World”
Leo De Hartog

Traditional strategic plans focus on completing a
myriad of objectives – most
that never get accomplished
One Objective at a Time
![Page 7: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A 70% sales win rate is considered
“exceptional”

Customers are captured but never fully leveraged – most businesses only realize 6% of their potential

The majority of mergers and acquisitions fail to achieve any
level of anticipated success
One Objective at a Time
![Page 10: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Strategic plans should have no more than 3 objectives for any stated period
• Business development resources should only be consumed for opportunities that will yield a 100% win rate
• Customers should be “put on” a product/services continuum that seeks a destination
• Acquisitions occur for a single purpose – what is it?
One Objective at a Time

Keep the Culture Strong
“He took the standpoint that, if he wanted to remain in power, it
was necessary to have available a central
position on which his subordinates could fall back and from which radiated the essential unifying
strength.”
“Genghis Khan, Conqueror of the World”
Leo De Hartog
![Page 12: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tele-working, independent contractors, and multiple office locations have diluted corporate
culture
Keep the Culture Strong
![Page 13: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

No “safe” spot for
employees
Keep the Culture Strong
![Page 15: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It is all about short-term productivity
Keep the Culture Strong
![Page 16: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Define your business culture• Eliminate the use of independent
contractors – except for pure support functions
• Insist on face-to-face interaction with employees – providing them with an inviting environment
• What is the “value proposition” for your employees? Beyond a paycheck, why should they work for you?
Keep the Culture Strong
![Page 17: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Protect the Core
“Other measures to which he gave
particular attention were the protection
of subsidiaries following a military unit with food and
equipment, and the training of horses.”
“Genghis Khan, Conqueror of the World”
Leo De Hartog
![Page 18: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Employee training, paying health care
insurance premiums, and childcare
reimbursement have been taken away in response to short-
term profitable objectives
Protect the Core
![Page 19: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Cuts in marketing, research and
development and competitive
research limit effectiveness of
sales staff
Protect the Core

Organization operates at a competitive disadvantage
Protect the Core

• Protect the support functions that allow employees to focus on business productivity
• Fully equip your “teams” with effective information, up-to-date tools and supporting documentation
• Operate at a competitive plateau – not trying to make “do” with existing resources
Protect the Core

Infinite Patience
“Moreover, he possessed the
patience to bide his time”
“Genghis Khan, Conqueror of the World”
Leo De Hartog
![Page 23: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Decision making is based on internal
returns on investment (ROI)
![Page 24: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Customers are unable to quantify the value of your products and
services (your ammunition)
Infinite Patience
![Page 25: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
And there is literally no understanding of the competition or economic environment
Infinite Patience
![Page 26: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
While infinite patience is a business virtue, the inability to act when
the conditions present themselves also
results in negative consequences

Share the “Booty”
“He was discovering what other leaders had found
out before him, and others not yet born would learn – that the ready acceptance of the ruler by the ruled
depends upon the degree of happiness which only an
increasing scale of rewards can bring.”
“Genghis Khan- The Rise, Authority and Decline of Mongol Power”
Peter Brent
![Page 29: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A caste system exists in American
business where CEOs take a
predominant share of corporate profits for compensation
and limit the distribution for rank
and file.

Not sharing the “booty” has a
negative impact on employee retention
and a desire to increase work/life
balance

Long-term corporate growth is interrupted
when CEOs (and other senior leaders) take
an inordinate amount of profit for themselves.

• Create compensation structures that share greater proportions of the spoils
• Don’t limit upside compensation• Let’s not kid ourselves – people work
for the money

Adapt to the Environment
“Chingis created nothing new. He only understood
with true remarkable insight the meaning of the
changes taking place among his people,
speeded up those changes through his impetuous energy and genius, and gave them final form.”
“Genghis Khan”Ralph Fox

and predictable strategies
and tactics – regardless of
the situation.

Single Language
“Even before the time of Genghis Khan the Mongol
tribes possessed a common law, which was unwritten
and showed some variation among the existing tribes.
As the overlordship of Genghis Khan extended, the need arose for laws applying to the whole
empire and with it the need for a binding legal code.”“Genghis Khan, Conqueror of the World”
Leo De Hartog

Insight into Human Character
“Genghis Khan chose the future officers for his army with an astonishing insight
into human character. Moreover, he appointed all
of them with almost infallible precision to the post for which they were
best suited.”
“Genghis Khan, Conqueror of the World”
Leo De Hartog
![Page 44: Warrior Management](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5681662a550346895dd98d1d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Most organizations hire individuals based on
their past experience – even though the stated accomplishments were achieved in a “team”
environment

Often, employees are hired to fill only the requirements of an open position
with no accord to potential future advancement

• Develop a list of characteristics that are important for employees to be successful in your business
• Develop career paths for each individual striving for a technical or managerial destination
• In many cases, you are hiring your future owners

Final Thoughts“Genghis Khan had set out to dominate the world; for all his
understanding, even his wisdom, he never realized that it
is not by warfare that one dominates vast populations, nor
even by firmly benevolent administration – it is by ideas, by beliefs, by the tangibles of
human communication.”
“Genghis Khan – The Rise, Authority and Decline of Mongol
Power”Peter Brent

“In all his career one can feel for him the same mingled disgust and admiration one feels for the founders of great capitalist
enterprises of the last century, men who also stopped at nothing,
ruined their enemies gleefully, men who organized great empires also,
empires of steel and power and publicly always preached caution,
moderation and sobriety.”
“Genghis Khan”Ralph Fox
