Sun Tzu, it turns out, was more than just a great warrior; he would also have been an outstanding Human Relations Director, if there had been such a thing 2,500 years ago.

He was, of course, speaking of the oversight of military forces; but his philosophy is applicable to all walks of life, from the treatment of one’s own family, to the running of a business, to the operation of an entire government:

“When one treats people with benevolence, justice, and righteousness, and reposes confidence in them, the army will be united in mind and all will be happy to serve their leaders.”

Anyone who has ever held a job, or been part of a family or other cohesive group, understands the wisdom of those words.

Or they should.

Just sayin’ . . .
