Ancient Management Lessons for Modern Success | Don Schmincke

Don Schmincke is a planetary physicist turned management and leadership researcher. He is an Indiana Jones for the business world who has traveled to the Himalayas to study leadership in lost civilizations and poured over ancient Japanese manuscripts for management techniques CEOs and companies can apply to their organizations today. From Alexander the Great to the Vikings and the Samurai, Don discovers the strategies that have worked for centuries, distills them down and brings them back to the attention of anyone looking for proven ways to better manage their people.

We are so pleased to be speaking with Don on this week’s episode. His new online course, Becoming Samurai, takes a look at change resistance and the cycle of chaos and failure that accompanies many of the change programs companies and organizations try to implement. By studying the success of the Samurai, Don’s program identifies the root cause of change resistance and how to circumvent it by answering the following questions:

• What’s holding me back?
• What are we attached to?
• How do we let go?
• And more

Don’s work codifying management and leadership research and putting it together for CEOs and business leaders has paid dividends for companies and organizations around the world. Don’t miss out on the conversations and his insights for success!
