The consultant is spared the arduous necessity of googling 'Napoleon' and can rely on anecdotes, quite possibly invented, about his children and his dog, also possibly invented. <br /><br />But equally, I think military history contains some very useful lessons for managers, if mainly of the negative variety. Going by the Amazon reviews of 'On the Psychology of Military Incompetence' that is quite a widely held view, and so I don't see that avoiding military metaphors would do any particular good.<br />BruceKnoreply@blogger.com
