Description

Understand the psychology of conflict with A Sense of the Enemy by Zachary Shore. Published by Oxford University Press, this book explores the high stakes history of reading your rival's mind. While Sun Tzu famously advised leaders to know their enemy, many have failed by relying on simplistic methods to predict adversary behavior. This failure often leads to disastrous results in leadership and strategy. Zachary Shore introduces the concept of strategic empathy to explain how successful leaders anticipate actions. Instead of assuming rivals will act the same way they would, wise leaders use strategic empathy to see into the unique internal constraints and perspectives of their opponents. This book provides a deep look at how understanding the mental processes of an adversary can change the course of history and improve strategic decision-making.

Gain historical insights into the military philosophy of Sun Tzu and the importance of knowing your enemy.

Understand how to move beyond personal bias to see the unique internal constraints of your rivals.
