In this episode of The Exceptional Leadership Podcast, we explore Sun Tzu’s “Energy” chapter from The Art of War — and how its ancient wisdom applies to modern corporate leadership. Discover how mastering the balance between direct and indirect energy can transform the way you lead your team, make decisions, and drive results.
We’ll unpack what “energy” means in a business context — from the direct approach of leading meetings, negotiating deals, and having tough conversations, to the indirect approach of delegation, influence, and strategic empowerment. Learn how great leaders know when to act and when to guide from behind the scenes, using momentum and leverage instead of force.
If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with precision, efficiency, and strategic intent, this episode offers practical insights drawn from Sun Tzu’s timeless leadership philosophy — reimagined for today’s fast-moving corporate world.
