Genghis Khan – Lessons in Leadership and Management 5

GenKhan4 The size of your business is determined by the size of the image you choose to project . . . . . . .  Project small and you are small – project big and you are big.

The Mongols under Genghis Khan were a small nation yet they dominated Asia in the 12th century. They chose to project big. Each man led two spare horses. From a distance it was therefore impossible to know the size of the army, division or battalion.
