Description: The Swordless Samurai: Leadership Wisdom of Japan's Sixteenth-Century Legend: Toyotomi Hideyoshi by Kitami Masao Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In a time of endless chaos and bloodshed, when the only law was the law of the sword, a peasant boy named Hideyoshi dreamed of becoming a samurai. Despite his lack of strength and size, he learned to outthink and outmaneuver every foe to become not just a samurai, but one of the greatest military and civic leaders Japan has ever known.  Hideyoshi’s timeless leadership secrets offer effective strategies for succeeding in business, con?ict, and life, and are destined to take their place beside such classics as "The Book of Five Rings" and "The Art of War."  Publisher Description Japan, during most of its history, has been ruled by its all-powerful Emperors. But in the 16th century - called by the Japanese the Age of Warring Clans - regional potentates called Shoguns were endlessly fighting one another with their small armies of samurai warriors. Hideyoshi, who called himself the Swordless Samurai, is the Japanese Horatio Alger.He worked his way up the ladder of strong class boundaries despite having none of the advantages. He was of peasant origin, but by bonding to powerful Lord Nobunaga, and being useful to him day and night, Hideyoshi secured a powerful patron. Much later, Hideyoshi broke all class barriers and ultimately became the most powerful man in Japan. This book tells how he did it. Hideyoshi was immortalised by a biographer - Kitami Masao - so much so that every schoolboy in Japan is taught the moral that good judgment, keen intelligence, and sharp wits will win out over your adversaries almost every time.Hideyoshis leadership and success precepts, more than 50 of them, are embedded in the narrative as Hideyoshi wins many military victories and analyses his rise to supreme leadership. His unerring sense of what it took - drive, shrewdness, anticipation, and determination - is readily understandable to a Western businessman or businesswoman today. Author Biography Tim Clark lived in Japan for years. He now lives in Portland, Oregon.
