On today's show we speak with Dan Kovalik about the inauguration of Nicholas Maduro as the president of Venezuela over the objections of the US State Department. Then we'll take a closer look at the marriage between Artificial Intelligence and government surveillance and the narrowing prospects for privacy in the future. Finally, we end with a conversation with the renowned historian and sociologist Michael Mann whose work includes the 4 volume series The Sources of Social Power, and books such as Incoherent Empire, The Darkside of Democracy and his latest entitled On War.

After taking a Christmas break, I am picking up on my summaries of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare. In the previous episode, I described the nature of war as violence intended to compel an opponent to submit to your will. Although this idea is described by Carl von Clausewitz in his magnum opus, On War, the Prussian philosopher of war is best known for the aphorism that war is a continuation of politics by other means. It is a catchy phrase, but that translation leaves a lot to be desired and misses key points Clausewitz wanted to make. As I see it, the key take-aways from this idea are: War must be viewed as an instrument of national policy – one among many. War is not the policy; war is inserted to the ongoing political engagement to achieve the policy objective. Therefore, it is important to know what that policy is – the objective the policy intends to achieve. That is, to understand what a nation intends to achieve by war, before embarking upon it. It follows then, that the use of force in war must be consistent with the aims of that policy. Not all wars have the policy objective of overthrowing the enemy. A suspension of active warfare does not necessarily mean abandoning the strategic policy objective. If you want to end a war, achieve or change the policy objective. Reference: v.

In this second episode of my summary series, I address the Nature of War. That nature is violence directed at an opponent to coerce him to submit to your will. This violence has always been the nature of war and it will always be so. Further, this violence must be so painful to your opponent that he will prefer submitting to your will rather than continuing to resist. How you apply that violence and where the pain must be applied changes with time, technology, and culture. Further, the tools to apply this pain are not just kinetic, or direct military action. Economic pain can be just as important as military force. So too is information directed towards increasing fear of pain in the opponents' population, its leaders, and your opponents' friends. What makes war different from other forms of violence is its political nature. This violence is directed towards achieving a political end state. Without directing military force to a clearly defined political objective military success is still possible but will, more than likely, end in strategic failure.

We often hear that this or that military attack caused disproportionate civilian casualties. Most often, these accusations are directed against Israel, when they are not directed against the United States. I will be generous and presume that most of these accusations are based on a misconception of what proportionality in armed conflict means, and how it is different from proportionate use of force civil or human rights law circumstances. Proportionality in war is the subject of this episode of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare.

On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, instantly killing up to 80,000 civilians, with another 40,000 dying soon after from burns and radiation poisoning. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the surrender of the Japanese Army, marking the end of the most destructive war in history. War has been a constant throughout history. Since the dawn of agriculture, humans have waged war against one another. Some argue that war is ingrained in human nature, from our ancestors battling over resources and empires seeking expansion, to biblical genocides and acts of human sacrifice—Homo sapiens are seemingly insatiable for conflict. Others, however, believe war is not inevitable and that we have the capacity for humility, justice, and kindness without resorting to armed conflict. We must remember that explaining war is not the same as justifying it. While pacifism, as exemplified by Jesus and Gandhi, is often seen as noble, is non-violence truly effective against regimes intent on ethnic cleansing? If not, how do we determine when war is justified and what defines proportional force? Can the killing of innocent civilians ever be justified? And, if not, how do they differ from innocent combatants? War, huh, good god, what is it good for? Links A.C. Grayling, War: An Enquiry (book) Richard Overy, Why War?

The fighting in the Kursk Oblast is still ongoing, and it would be much to soon to derive any lessons to be learned from this event. This episode picks up from the previous episode, examining how this campaign might offer examples of concepts presented in previous podcasts of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare. Ukraine continues maneuver warfare at the tactical level, although as of this writing, nothing approaching the level of decisive action. Russia continues its World War I style offensive in the east, while the south has some interesting long-range strikes. The contrast between attrition warfare in the east and maneuver warfare in the north, combined with drones, deep fires, and partisan activity in Russian occupied areas all indicate that no prior form of warfare is obsolescent and all can exist simultaneously with modern techno-warfare.

The war in Ukraine has taken a very interesting, and I think, exciting turn of events. The advent of combined arms maneuver warfare reminiscent of armored offensives in that region eight decades ago. It is impossible to conduct an in-depth analysis at this time. There is too much going on and we really know little about order of battle or Ukrainian objectives. StilI, I felt the need to talk about this ongoing battle for a several reasons. Most important of these is that it is an example of the type of maneuver warfare that is possible and should be a feature of this war.

Clausewitz's descriptions of friction, taken with the often antagonistic interplay among his trinity of passion, policy, and probability, keep war in theory separate from war in practice. How does this look in real war? In this episode, I make my best guess about how friction and chaotic trinity might affect Russia's “special military operation” in Ukraine. If you missed the previous two episodes, I recommend that you take the time to do so before listening to this one.

Clausewitz wrote that there are three forces at work when a nation goes to war: “unbridled passion,” reason, and the play of chance and probability. Things only work well when each of these is held in equilibrium by the other two. The people, the government, and the military represent these forces and the government should, in theory, maintain that equilibrium. In practice, this never happens. Instead, the interplay among these is random and seemingly chaotic. Each aspect of the nation and the force it represents, must deal with friction within their group and friction from and within the other groups. The pendulum that swings among these power centers is also influenced by external forces including, but certainly not limited to, the enemy. This, with the friction described in the previous episode, adds to the apparent irrationality of war and generates diversions along the path to peace. Reference: Clausewitz, C.

Renowned Israeli Military historian Martin Van Creveld explains to Disorder listeners how certain essential elements of warfare have remained constant overtime. These continuities have been frequently overlooked in the sensationalizing media coverage of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. In major interstate warfare, the defense retains its traditional advantages just as it did when Carl von Clausewitz penned his famous ‘On War'; in counter insurgency warfare separating insurgents from the shelter they receive from the local population remains as complex as when Mao Tze Dong wrote his ‘On Guerrilla Warfare'; and maintaining deterrence vis a vis one's adversaries remains just as important as when Theodore Roosevelt suggested at the Minnesota State Fair in 1901 that one should ‘speak softly, and carry a big stick.' Drawing on his extensive research over decades, Martin presents a rare treat for Disorder listeners sharing his theories on deterrence, the imitative nature of war, what makes people willing to fight and die, the tragedy of the Palestinians, propaganda in War, and what can be done to help Israelis and Palestinians understand each other's narratives better. Martin Van Creveld has written 33 books with fluidity and grace on topics as wide ranging as tank battles, feminism, human consciousness, Western philosophy, and terrorism. Martin has briefed every major Western military and his books ‘Command in War'; ‘Supplying War: Logistics from Wallenstein to Patton'; ‘The Transformation of War'; ‘The Sword and the Olive' and ‘The Rise and Decline of the State'; ‘the Culture of War'; ‘Pussycats: The West and the Rest' have changed how war is studied at military academies the world over.

Who is this Clausewitz guy? The Army War College studies many different theories and theorists of war, from Thucydides of ancient Athens, Sun Tzu of Wu Dynasty in China, to Machiavelli, Mitchell, and present day theorists. One name stands out among the others, the early 19th century enlightenment era military philosopher, the Prussian Major General and War College Director, Carl von Clausewitz. It is not just the US Army War College. Russian and Chinese military teaching also centers on his ideas. Why? Who was he and why do I cite him so often in my podcasts (and in conversation, my papers, etc.) Working within my self-imposed limit of eight minutes, I try to explain this as best I can. These podcasts are not monetized or subsidized in any way. The opinions expressed in these podcasts are my own and do not necessarily reflect any organization I am or have ever been associated with – and fall far short of doing justice to Carl and Marie von Clausewitz.

If I initiate a war, it seems logical that I would know why I am starting that war and what I expect to achieve by it. It might also be helpful if I let my opponent know that, too, as it may help limit the intensity duration, and long-term effects of that war. Why that is and how that does or doesn't reflect reality is the subject of this and following episodes of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare.

Episode 93 On War and Peace brokers with Austin from Urban Sadhu Yoga Austin is back! And this time we explore the heavy topic of war and our responsibility as a yoga teacher to bring this topic into our classes and communities. YOGA IS POLITICS! And this needs to be addressed more. Austin explains his point of view through ancient yogi texts and the way he works with and within his community bringing his views and method of yoga in Jersey City. This truly is a MUST LISTEN! I invited Austin to speak about this topic specifically bcause I feel it's so crazy to be in the business of “peace” as a yoga teacher and be confronted with this war and feel helpless and powerless. I also feel it's our job as yoga teachers to talk about this, to bring politics into class, to have this conversation, we speak about all this and about spiritual bypassing too.... another important topic! Please listen, share and leave a review!

The argument is made, time and time again, that if we could just get rid of religion, we would be able to end all wars. Yet that belief requires a willing ignorance to what religion is and how, at the core of each and every philosophy, is a fundamentally religious idea. The idea that we could eliminate war from taking place wherever there are men reveals more about the person who believes it, than about the world as it is. Clausewitz described War as politics by another means, or at least poor translations of "On War" suggest that. Mao and Lenin viewed war as a part of Culture, or at least the way they waged their campaigns certainly implied so. And then there's the question of economics, that if we could solve the problem of scarcity in the world, we would end all reason for men to go to war with one another. Each of these theories portrays different metaphysical ideas, different worldviews. And how we think of them in relation to war affects how we believe we ought fight one.

Carl von Clausewitz wrote On War in 1832 after experiencing the Napoleonic wars. The eight books of this text contain Clausewitz's theory of war. In it, he addresses the relationships between war and policy, tactics and strategy. A basic textbook in military academies, this book is read by both military strategists and political scientists. And it can be interpreted in two very different, but accurate ways. Gil-li Vardi is a military historian and visiting scholar at Stanford University where she teaches about military history, particularly the First and Second World Wars. She has published articles in War in History and the Journal for Strategic Studies. See more information on our website, WritLarge.fm. Follow us on Twitter @WritLargePod.

Moving now into the portion of "On War" concerned directly with tactics and military strategy, Clausewitz begins by defining defense within his concept of war. There are many reasons to fight/play defensively, and Clausewitz attests that the defense is the superior of the two when compared to offense. There are many advantages conferred to the defender, like usually having the advantage of terrain. He doesn't argue for absolute defense, of course, but the use of defense as an active state, prepared to switch to offense at a moment's notice. In this way, and others, he claims the defense superior. Do you agree? Learn about these concepts and more as Dymphna and Sir Talon join Malark to examine Clausewitz's ideas on defense and offense.

Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz created a new way of thinking about war in the West: a study of the phenomenon and its complex social nature, where previous authors had produced prescriptive manuals or homed in on ethics or the laws of war. Thus, Clausewitz is challenging to engage with and richer and rewarding in the insights he provides. Clausewitz can be considered the father of Strategic Studies as a discipline. Occasionally, somebody comes along and pronounces Clausewitz obsolete – to the tremendous relief of students who think that obviates reading the big fat book he left us - On War. But those who have done so have read him narrowly or to have been proved wrong by subsequent evolutions of warfare. The good news for students is that, ironically, On War is easier to read in the modern English translation than in its original obsolescent German, although scholars will argue endlessly over nuance of meaning. Clausewitz's approach has brought him loyal and prominent followers such as Bernard Brodie and Colin S. Gray in the US, Corbett and Sir Michael Howard in the UK, Svechin in Russia, and Mao in China. In this episode, Beatrice Heuser discusses Clausewitz and his intellectual legacy with Paul O'Neill, Director, Military Sciences, RUSI, homing in on the long-term legacy of this most famous of the “dead Prussians”.

I told him, nobody. I really didn't see myself like anybody.[8:12] We may be in the same genre but we don't put out the same product.[16:34] What really set me apart in these days was my repertoire. It was more formidable than the rest of the players. There were a lot of better musicians around but there wasn't anybody close in nature to what I was doing.[18:00] Bob spends a lot of time thinking about and studying history.[20:34] I'd come from a long ways off and had started from a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.[21:27] I walked over to the window and looked outside. The air was bitter cold but the fire in my mind was never out. It was like a wind vane that was constantly spinning.[21:45] It is incredible how much reading this guy is going to do. He takes ideas from everything that he reads and applies it to his work.[22:30] Towering figures that the world would never see the likes of again, men who relied on their own resolve, for better or worse, every one of them prepared to act alone, indifferent to approval—indifferent to wealth or love, all presiding over the destiny of mankind and reducing the world to rubble. Coming from a long line of Alexanders and Julius Caesars, Genghis Khans, Charlemagnes and Napoleons, they carved up the world.

It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic." —Carl Sagan[32:35] On War by Carl von Clausewitz[37:55] I knew what I was doing and wasn't going to take a step back or retreat for anybody.[46:40] This idea of being completely separate from the outside world is a main theme in the book.[48:00] Being true to yourself. That was the thing.[51:11] After a while you learn that privacy is something you can sell but you can't buy it back.[57:44] Too many distractions had turned my musical path into a jungle of vines.[58:29] There was a missing person inside of myself and I needed to find him.[59:53] You have to find ways to get out of your own head.[1:01:47] At first it was hard going like drilling through a brick wall.

We finish out this chapter of "On War" with Clausewitz describing how we can turn military science into art. In previous episodes, we've discussed the impossibility of positive theory and the various means at our disposal to achieve victory. We bring that all together in this episode where we talk about the pros and cons of plentiful information. Geniuses aside, any of us can develop pulse-beat knowledge if we practice enough.

Saskia Maarleveld narrates Charlotte McConaghy's novel, a paean to the majesty of wolves. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss Saskia's skills with enlivening the characters, Scottish and Australian both, who inhabit this emotionally heavy and intriguing tale. Head biologist Inti Flynn is an Australian scientist with touch synesthesia, a sensory disorder that causes her to feel any pain she witnesses. Maarleveld captures both her accent and the tension that lurks in her psyche. Inti is working to reintroduce 14 wolves into the wilds of Scotland to restore the remote forest environments, but the locals are not exactly pleased, and there is a suspicious death in the woods.

This interview was a discussion with Olivia Garard. Olivia annotated and edited Carl von Clausewitz's Theory of the Combat. This is a lesser-known work by the great Prussian military writer, who is best known for his book On War. In this work, we see where Clausewitz's theories about tactics and combat took shape. Olivia's Annotated Guide is meant to provide military thinkers with a useful tool to work through Clausewitz's theories. She says reading Clausewitz is like a “mental field exercise.” About Olivia: She served in the Marine Corps for six years as a UAS officer. She finished her service in the Marine Corps as a Captain. Prior to the Marine Corps, she received a BA from Princeton University and an MA from King's College in London. She is a writer at War on the Rocks and at Strategy Bridge. The best way to keep up with her work is by following her on Twitter @teaandtactics. In the interview, we discuss: Olivia's motivation to join the Marines. How she became interested in Clausewitz Who is Clausewitz and why should anyone care about him? What is war? What does it mean to have a “theory” of combat? The destructive act and the decisive act Clausewitz on the offense and defense Clausewitz on what a “moral” force means Thoughts on leadership Reflections on Clausewitz and current events from cyber threats to China and Taiwan Thoughts on esprit de corps And we briefly touch on the concept of “Trinity of War”. This was a very informative and interesting interview with someone who is extremely knowledgeable on the topic.

Prospecting is the lifeblood of every business. Having a full pipeline of qualified prospects means you have choice. According to Marcus Cauchi—a Fractional Chief Revenue Officer for several technology startups—you should have 300–500% more at the “qualified moving to closable” stage of your funnel. You have to drive opportunity with sufficient velocity through the disqualification process. Marcus emphasizes to make sure that you get to the qualified stage quickly and cleanly with the least amount of effort and waste. When you prospect for choice—and have a full pipeline—you can walk away from bad business and you’re never dependent on any one deal. Marcus shares a wealth of information in this episode of Sales Reinvented—don’t miss it! Outline of This Episode [1:15] Prospecting and lead gen—in Marcus’s words [1:41] You need to prospect for choice [2:50] Marcus’s prospecting and lead generation process [6:32] What is the red thread? [7:27] Recruit for high intelligence and laziness [10:10] The top skills salespeople should develop [11:42] Top 3 prospecting and lead generation dos and don’ts [13:43] How Marcus turned a cold call into a sale Be ruthless with disqualification Prospecting for choice begins with identifying who is and who is not someone you should be prospecting. Disqualify everyone who isn’t a good fit—that means anyone less than a 100% match. You have to be ruthless with disqualification. You should be ready to go for the “no” and find out why they should not buy. If you don’t know why they need help, the risks they’re trying to mitigate, the problems they’re trying to overcome, or their ideal outcomes, you have no business interrupting them. Don’t neglect any part of the process To prospect for choice, you should also know who your customer is and what they all have in common. Be relevant, timely, respectful of their time, and deliver value on every call. Marcus hates the drivel he hears from people selling marketing automation companies saying it takes 18 attempts to speak to get a conversation in the C-suite. It doesn’t. It only takes one. If it takes more than that, look at your messaging and find out why it’s not working. Odds are, it’s long, it’s wordy, and it’s irrelevant. It talks about your company, your product, and your services. Touch them with stuff that is relevant. He notes that you have to remember that prospecting doesn’t end after the initial conversation. You must care for the middle of the funnel. It’s hammered into you to prospect and get people into the funnel. Then you’re pushed to get to closing. The middle of the funnel is often neglected. Treat prospecting as a sacred act and make sure that you are focusing on making fewer higher-quality calls, being timely and relevant, and nurture them through the pipeline. Recruit for high intelligence...and laziness Carl Von Clausewitz wrote a book called “On War.” When he recruited Prussian soldiers, he looked for high intelligence and laziness. Why? It meant minimum effort which equaled a minimum loss of life. You can approach prospecting in the same way. You need to be well organized and good at research. You need to understand your customer’s world and understand their customers. What is the competitive landscape? If you are good at that, you can elevate your prospecting so you can hit the bullseye far more often—with less effort. Marcus interviewed a couple of ladies in the SaaS space. These ladies were smashing their quotas. But when they do, they sit back and ask themselves “What could I have done better?” What other skills should a salesperson develop? What are Marcus’s top prospecting and lead generation dos and don’ts? Listen to learn more! Marcus turned a cold-call into a sale Marcus received a call from someone who immediately started talking about financial training. Marcus interrupted this person and said, “I think you’ve got the wrong person.” Turns out, they did have the wrong person. But instead of ending the call, Marcus asked, “What were you hoping to get from speaking to this person?” Marcus converted him into a bootcamp for cold-calling. The moral of the story? If someone has a pulse, start a conversation with them! You never know where your next opportunity will come from.

The US Government passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and that political decision led to U.S. military demands that the Seminole relocate to Oklahoma. The US Government accepted that it might require waging war to enforce the removal. The great Prussian military strategist Carl Von Clausewitz anticipated this contingency: "War is the continuation of politics by other means."Clausewitz warned, though, "No one starts a war -- or rather, no one in his sense ought to do so -- without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by the war and how he intends to conduct." The Seminole were clear on their political objectives in opening fire on Major Dade's command to begin formal hostilities with the U.S. government: Wage war until the Army agreed to stop forced removal to Oklahoma. They would fight on the run if they had to, with hit-and-run tactics and nuisance attacks. But they would still fight. In response, the U.S. Army embarked on a punitive operation against the Florida Seminole to achieve its own political objectives by warlike means. It seemed a simple enough proposition. Engage the Seminole in a big battle. Defeat them. Remove them. Restore peace. No one in America had read how Clausewitz would have scoffed at this simple proposition. In war, he wrote, everything is simple. But the simplest things are very, very difficult to perform Removing the Seminole was only simple on paper. More than seven years later, the U.S. Army had not completed its simple mission to capture all the Seminole and deport them. It eventually gave up on 100% removal, packed up, and went home. Joining us is US Army Colonel and War College graduate JP Clark, a military historian and a military strategist. He explains how an understanding of Clausewitz could have informed officers in the Second Seminole War -- and does inform us today. Without a copy of On War in its collective haversacks to inform and guide its strategy, operations, and tactics, the Army muddled along in the Second Seminole War. Much blood and treasure might have been spared had the Army's senior officers known of and embraced Clausewitz' strategic insights. Who was Carl von Clausewitz? Clausewitz' insights continue to resonate two centuries after he penned them. His relevance to thinking about strategy remains undiminshed by time. Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation. He is a combat veteran and of the U.S. Army, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kosovo, and at the Pentagon after 9/11.

Carl von Clausewitz wrote On War in 1832 after experiencing the Napoleonic wars. The eight books of this text contain Clausewitz’s theory of war. In it, he addresses the relationships between war and policy, tactics and strategy. A basic textbook in military academies, this book is read by both military strategists and political scientists. And it can be interpreted in two very different, but accurate ways. Gil-li Vardi is a military historian and visiting scholar at Stanford University where she teaches about military history, particularly the First and Second World Wars. She has published articles in War in History and the Journal for Strategic Studies. See more information on our website, WritLarge.fm. Follow us on Twitter @WritLargePod.
Welcome to the first episode of Center of Gravity! A podcast exploring themes in grand strategy and international relations, with a side of humor and pop culture analysis. In this episode, we unpack Carl von Clausewitz's seminal book On War, going over major themes as well as ongoing scholarly debates. One of the most famous (and controversial) thinkers on the nature of war, strategy, and leadership, Carl von Clausewitz casts a long shadow. Yet the complex, and at times contradictory nature of his theory makes it difficult to digest, and highly susceptible to misrepresentation. This episode lays out some of the basic ideas presented by Clausewitz, ranging from the political nature of war, to the role of genius among commanders. Whether you are a seasoned Clausewitz enthusiast or if you have never heard about On War until today, we hope this episode will draw out new insights, and clarify some of the more challenging aspects of Clausewitz's thought process.

Rip committed to avoid waste through coffee, which he describes as harder than he thought.Wait a minute. A three-star Marine Corps general is describing not using coffee cartridges as hard? In the Millennium Challenge we talked about in our first conversation he led a team taking on the best of the entire US war machine and won. How hard can coffee be?That's the point of this podcast. Personal change doesn't depend on calories burned, monetary costs, and so on. It depends on our hearts and minds, which depend on our stories, beliefs, images, and so on. It's as easy or hard as we believe.Another main point of this podcast is to empower you to change our beliefs, stories, and images. While a belief may make something as materially simple as changing how you make coffee seem impossibly difficult, recognizing that our belief is the issue puts resolving theproblem under our control. We don't have to accept that belief. We can change it.That's why I value Viktor Frankl and people like him so much. He turned living in Auschwitz into including experiencing love and bliss. What he can do, we can.Rip shares how he saw the situation before starting, how it ended up harder than expected, then he got to work on himself and his views, and you'll hear the results, as I heard more positive than he would have predicted.Systemic change begins with personal transformation. If you think the change will end with a few coffee cartridges, you're missing how systemic change happens. Among other things, now there's a Marine Corps three-star General who concerns himself with household waste and sees it as something to enjoy and look forward to. He presents it as decreasing feelings of guilt, taking responsibility, enjoying results. You'll hear that talking about responsibility and personal growth leads naturally to personal and professional growth at the highest levels of the military, about policy, strategy, campaigns, operations, and tactics.He shared preparing reading Von Clausewitz's On War. I almost can't believe the wisdom and experience I got to hear. This conversation helped prompt me reading the strategy works he described as well as valuing writing about sustainability. Beyond my blog, I'm working on my book and seeing how it reveals the core, as he described. I remember watching a video biography of President John Adams. After he was President a scene showing him fixing shingles on his roof. I thought of how human we all are, whatever our status, whatever importance we give ourselves. As JFK said, in the end we are all mortal. We share the same air, land, and water.We can view changes as obligations, chores, sacrifice, and burden---hardships for us. Focusing inwardly on ourselves characterizes depression. By contrast, we can view stewardship of nature as connecting us to others. Little improves how we feel more than acting in service of others. That's leadership. Even if we want to get ahead and think we have to do for ourselves, acting in service of others responsibly is leadership. If I want to get ahead it works. If I want more happiness itworks. If you prefer seeing stewardship as a burden keeping you from your career, that's your choice.Rip shared otherwise, as I heard it.

It's the first two weeks of August 1942 where the German Sixth and Fourth Panzer armies are closing in on the city with Joseph Stalin's name. We will also visit some of the other battles taking place in early August across Russia and further afield to provide some additional awareness about why certain decisions were being taken. It was a world war after all and despite our focus on Stalingrad, we can't lose sight of the bigger picture across the globe. Last week we spent some time with the citizens as they began building defensive systems like trenches and street barricades which accelerated through July 1942. The irony in the coming battle was the German's were going to do a far better job for the Russians using their bombers. Blowing up entire suburbs with bombs means lots of rubble in which to hide your snipers for example. It also makes it impossible for tanks to be effective. Sometimes brute force fails when it comes to warfare and this is one of those times. It sounds counter intuitive doesn't it? And yet Clausewitz warned about this in his tome On War. So did Sun Tzu. Do not destroy the entire landscape and your enemy cities or you will not be able to rule effectively afterwards. Hitler believed in ethnic cleansing with the Slavs to be replaced by the Aryans and so didn't care about this ancient truth. As the Mongols, the Romans and others found over the centuries, the more you destroy, the harder it is to govern if you really want to be around for the long term. In addition, Hitler's visceral hatred of Slavs and Russians blinded him and his officers like von Richthofen to the fact that the more brutal you are, the harder your enemy fights because its death by glory or death by the murderous invader. By trying to bludgeon London and Britain into submission for example, the Luftwaffe actually shot itself in the foot – it increased the motivation of the average Brit to fight. By bludgeoning Stalingrad, the German's did the same. So by the first week of August 1942 the biggest threat to Stalingrad was not the Sixth Army, it was Hoth's Fourth Panzer army. His Scouts were already within twenty miles of Stalingrad as he approached from the south west and Hoth was banking on being the first Germans in the City. It was a kind of game for this general, nicknamed Papa Hoth and loved by his men. The Fourth Panzer Army turned north-east from Tsimlyanskiy and Remontnaya on 1 August and two days later they'd captured loaded Soviet troops trains near KoteInikovo. More about this moment in a while. That put the main 4th Panzer's within sixty miles of Stalingrad. Even the latest intelligence reports which showed that Yeremenko's cleverly designed traps in the ravines and hills to the west of the city had slowed his units didn't overly worry Hoth much.

In a previous episode we discussed market friction, which I described as the heart of all entrepreneurial opportunity. This week we’ll discuss operational friction, which is central to profitability. Theory of constraints In the classic personal development book The Goal, Israeli management consultant Eliyahu Goldrapp outlines a “theory of constraints,” which essentially says that to achieve any business goal — such as profitability — you must first identify and resolve the operational friction in your organization. Friction can mean anything that slows your company down, impedes growth, or stymies innovation. Often, it’s seemingly small things that go overlooked until you start digging. Friction is hindrance to the execution of strategy A century a half before Goldrapp, the Prussian general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz described a similar type of friction in his posthumously published book On War. He defined friction as the hindrance to the execution of strategy. If your objective is to overtake an enemy, he wrote, the friction might be getting armaments to the frontlines: managing supply transport, keeping the horses fed, etc. Work on the business, not in the business How do you identify the operational friction in your business? First, you need to free up time to think about the big picture — and the minutia. In the classic book E-Myth Revisited, author Michael Gerber wrote that the goal for leaders is to work on the business, not in the business. Have a vision You have to have a vision of how something might be done. Have a dream scenario that you’re trying to achieve. Look for the chokepoints Then scrutinize all of the things that may be causing friction along the way. Ask, “Why aren’t we able to do this today? What’s holding us back” Look everywhere for the bottlenecks — the things holding your organization back from achieving your main objectives. Essentially, you’re asking, “What’s wrong with the way we’re doing things today?” Understand your objectives The key is understanding your objectives. For example, are you trying to increase the throughput of a specific system within the business or lower the costs of a certain process? Defining your objective helps you hone in on the chokepoints. The ‘little’ things aren’t always When you do this, you end up paying attention to seemingly little things that are easily overlooked. It could be a policy that requires someone to take an extra step, which adds that much more time or cost to a process, and ultimately hinders your ability to hit your company’s objectives. Often, it’s something put in place by accident. Formula 1 now vs. 1950 There’s a great YouTube video, “Formula 1 Pit Stops,” comparing a pit stop from 1950 to one today. A process that once took 67 seconds now takes less than 2. Pit crews removed friction across the entire chain: They adjusted policies, such as quadrupling the number of people on a pit crew; they invented new tools; and they started training like professional athletes. The result: faster pit changes than anyone thought possible in 1950. Elon Musk’s ‘production hell’ Elon Musk was in what he called “production hell” recently. Tesla built an assembly line to automate the entire process, in order to reduce their operational friction and cost of production. But it didn’t work, and humans had to take everything back over. During this time, Musk slept on the factory floor working out small engineering problems to improve the efficiency of the line. In order to understand those issues, Musk felt he had to be there 24/7. Get into the details When you roll up your sleeves like Musk to investigate, it’s among that morass of small things that you find the one thing that matters and has an oversized effect on everything else. A lot of times it’s decisions that you made before that people take for granted. Measure the right things To do this well, it’s crucial that you track the right metrics. If a 1950 pit crew measured its performance solely by what their competitors were doing, they’d be setting their sights too low, compared to what’s possible. Knowing where things are today doesn’t help you understand what’s possible in the future. Low-hanging fruit When you see a lot of capital — whether time or money — spent in one area of your company, that’s often low-hanging fruit for improvement. Don’t over-correct Organizations can create their own friction by overanalyzing what went wrong and trying building elaborate mechanisms to ensure it doesn’t happen again. So you have to put things into perspective. The biggest thing The biggest thing is asking questions about why something can’t be so much better than it is — and not incremental better, but transformationally better. It’s an automated assembly line. It’s instantaneous auction listings on Music Exchange. It’s a pit stop in less than 2 seconds. These are the types of things that reduce friction within an organization and lead to sustainable profits. Resources E-Myth Revisited, by Michael Gerber The Goal, by Eliyahu Goldrapp
You think it's obvious to keep religion and government separate—but for nearly all of human history, it's been anything but that! In this episode Dad and I sort through the landscape of 16th century Europe to scout out the source of Luther's distinction between the "two kingdoms": the lefthand kingdom where God rules by law, coercion, and public authority, and the righthand kingdom where God rules by the gospel of Jesus Christ through word and sacrament. There are so many ways to do church-and-state wrong that we barely scratch the surface! So stay tuned for the next episode, when we'll bring the two kingdoms into the 20th and 21st centuries to see what mischief (to say the least) has come about by failing to distinguish them properly closer to our time.

As the Second World War fades from living memory, D-Day, the Allied operation whose success led to the liberation of France and the rest of Western Europe from Axis forces, continues to serve as a microcosm for the preservation of democratic values in the world today. For those who fought, D-Day has important lessons to teach about how the past is remembered and what stories we tell to future generations. In this On War and Society Special Episode, guest host Kyle Pritchard talks with producer Elliott Halpern to discuss a new documentary airing on History, formerly the History Channel, on June 1st, 2019 at 9 pm. “D-Day in 14 Stories” blends first-hand accounts with re-enactments and animated renderings of the landings and is exclusively narrated by veterans and witnesses of the Allied Invasion of Normandy. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the landings next month, "D-Day in 14 Stories" offers a varied account of the strategic and personal challenges veterans and others faced. Elliott Halpern is an Emmy-award winning producer. He is the owner and creative director of yap films and has produced, written and directed many outstanding feature length films for television. He has previously produced Canad's War in Colour (2005), Vimy Ridge: Heaven to Hell (2007) and Black Watch Snipers (2016). References Elliott Halpern, D-Day in 14 Stories. Documentary.

In this episode, I thought we should concentrate on the role that the media and propaganda played as the war moved from conventional to unconventional, from military camps to concentration camps. Despite Lord Robert's declaration that the Boers were defeated followed his direct march from Cape Town to the Orange Free State capital, Bloemfontein, followed by the Transvaal Republic Capital, Pretoria - They weren't. That declaration of victory was premature, perhaps similar to the recent declaration by American president Donald Trump that ISIS has been defeated in Syria. As the unique and eccentric historian Vico noted, history has a curious way of repeating itself - albeit in a spiral, never really returning to exactly what occurred before but elevated by technology and time. Let's just leave that there for now. Politically loaded declarations about victories are often made to the detriment of the troops left fighting the real wars, and in 1900, Lord Roberts was about to leave for England believing it was job done. The irony was his own army could not move around the veld freely, and were constantly harassed by what he and others regarded as bandits, but were really extremely successful guerrilla war generals. In Syria too, the US special forces helping the Kurds have found their enemy continues to control territory despite apparently being defeated. You can believe what you want regarding Trump or Roberts - but reality always tends to leap up when least expected and subject those who ignore the truth to a reality check. As with the Boer war, let's see what happens in Syria. Carl von Clausewitz had much to say about ignoring real threats. And the truth was that the Boers were undefeated. As von Clausewitz points out in his seminal work On War, The country must be conquered, for out of the country a new military force may be formed. And the country had not been conquered, the will of the people had not been crushed. A new military force was indeed formed, more mobile, more motivated, more dangerous.
The Strategy Bridge talks with Vanya Eftimova Bellinger about the influence of culture and politics on Carl von Clausewitz. Vanya Eftimova Bellinger is the author of Marie von Clausewitz: The Woman Behind the Making of On War and is a professor of Clausewitz studies at the Army War College.
Marie von Clausewitz: The Woman Behind the Making of On War (Oxford University Press, 2016) is an important and fascinating book that not only tells the story of a remarkable woman's life during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution and Restoration. Based on a recently discovered cache of letters between Marie von Clausewitz and her renowned husband, Carl, it also dramatically expands our understanding of the process by which Carl's famous treatise, On War, came to be. Vanya E. Bellinger, currently a visiting professor at the United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, argues that Marie was a crucial foil for the development of Carl's ideas over many years. Marie's connections to the Prussian court (she was born into the prominent von Bruhl family) also helped to secure her husband's often precarious position. Bellinger freely acknowledges Carl's military genius but places Marie alongside her husband as an intellectual partner and political confidante, who played an important role in bringing one of the most famous works of military theory to the world.

Bellinger freely acknowledges Carl’s military genius but places Marie alongside her husband as an intellectual partner and political confidante, who played an important role in bringing one of the most famous works of military theory to the world.

Marie von Clausewitz: The Woman Behind the Making of On War (Oxford University Press, 2016) is an important and fascinating book that not only tells the story of a remarkable woman’s life during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution and Restoration.

This podcast is the first episode of a War Room special series featuring some of history’s greatest strategists. Featured is Carl von Clausewitz, famed for his book On War (Vom Kriege) which is a staple of professional military education in the U.S. and many partner nations. This is remarkable given that the original text of On War is an unfinished manuscript published posthumously by his wife Marie. Clausewitz scholar Vanya Eftimova Bellinger and War Room podcast editor Jacqueline Whitt explore the book’s major theses and implications they present for modern scholars and practitioners of strategy.

One of my favorite books is “On War” from an early 19th century Prussian general, Claus von Clausewitz. This is possibly the most famous book on military strategy after “Art of War”, that most of you have heard of. In his book Clausewitz talks about grouping officers into four clusters in terms of their intelligence and diligence. There are the dumb and lazy officers, who should be left alone. The smart and diligent officers must be taken great care of, as they will get everything done and make you look good. The dumb and diligent ones are dangerous and should be fired or pushed aside, as they screw everything up. However, the smart and lazy officers are destined for the highest positions in the army… The smart and lazy ones - this is what today’s podcast show is about. Tune in to hear my story about a smart and lazy colleague of mine and how he made a stellar career at KPMG London, where I started my career. Find out how to become a smart and lazy entrepreneur yourself and what it means to your succession. Tune into the show at http://successionsecrets.com. Your succession is success!
The Second World War still has a defining place in how we imagine war today, despite its increasing distance from us. The west has not experienced ‘major war’ since 1945, and so our comprehension of what it means has not had to be redefined. But the war, which we have invented for ourselves, is a caricature: a ‘good’ war fought for ‘necessary’ reasons by a generation of ‘heroes’. The implicit contrast is with the First World War, which is portrayed as none of these things. This construction of the Second World War has created a massive obstacle to our capacity to understand the war of 1914-18 on its own terms. It too has become a caricature of itself: futile, wasteful and needless. Yet many of the concepts with which we frame modern war are derived from the First, not the Second, World War, including ‘grand strategy’, ‘total war’ and even ‘existential conflict’. The First World War changed what we mean by strategy with effects that still resonate. And the conflict has a further claim to our attention in this centenary period. The complexities and ambiguities that surround it can help us understand the place of armed conflict in our own world – its causes, conduct and termination – and often do so much better than the stories which we tell ourselves of the Second World War. SPEAKER: Sir Hew Strachan FRSE, Hon D. Univ (Paisley) was the Chichele Professor of the History of War at the University of Oxford and is now Professor of International Relations at the University of St Andrews. He is an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford and a Life Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. His recent books include The First World War: Volume 1: To Arms (2001), The First World War: an illustrated history (2003); related to a multi-part television series and translated into many languages, Clausewitz’s On War: a Biography (2007), and The Direction of War (2013). He is the editor of The Oxford Illustrated History of the First World War (revised edition, 2014), and a clutch of volumes arising from his Directorship of the Oxford Changing Character of War Programme.
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss On War, a treatise on the theory and practice of warfare written by the Prussian soldier and intellectual Carl von Clausewitz. First published in 1832, Clausewitz's magnum opus is commonly regarded as the most important book about military theory ever written. Informed by its author's experience of fighting against the mighty armies of Napoleon, the work looks not just at the practicalities of warfare, but offers a subtle philosophical analysis of the nature of war and its relationship with politics. Notions such as the Clausewitzian Trinity have had an enormous effect on later military leaders. But its influence is felt today not just on the battlefield but also in politics and business.With:Saul DavidProfessor of War Studies at the University of BuckinghamHew StrachanChichele Professor of the History of War at the University of OxfordBeatrice HeuserProfessor of International Relations at the University of Reading.Producer: Thomas Morris.

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (“Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time” by Prof. Carroll Quigley, Page 949-950) John von Neumann (Wikipedia) Martin Luther (Wikipedia) The Early American Reception of German Idealism by James Good (Amazon) Wilhelm Wundt (Wikipedia) Thorsten Veblen (Wikipedia) Conspicuous Consumption (on Wikipedia) Vilfredo Pareto (Wikipedia) Gaetano Mosca (Wikipedia) Sociology of the Elites by Michael Hartmann (Google Books) Elite Theory (on Wikipdia) Peace Revolution episode #22 “The Best Enemies Money Can Buy / The Arch which connects 2 Pillars” Peace Revolution episode #37 “Justified Sinners / The History of Eugenics in America” “The American aborigines, Negroes and Europeans are as different from each other in mind as any three races that can be named; yet I was incessantly struck, whilst living with the Fuegians on board the ‘Beagle', with the many little traits of character, shewing how similar their minds were to ours; and so it was with a full-blooded negro with whom I happened once to be intimate” (on SCRIBD) Panopticon (on Wikipedia) Bill Clinton speaks of Carroll Quigley at 1992 DNC (on YouTube) Edmund Walsh (on Wikipedia) Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (on Wikipedia) Hour 3, minutes 45 –end: “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin (1871): Francis Galton (on Wikipedia) Adam Smith (on Wikipedia) CATO Institute (on Wikipedia) Marshall Fritz (on Wikipedia) Benjamin Franklin (on Wikipedia) “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”(1793) Thomas Edison (on Wikipedia) “Young Thomas Edison” (biographical film 1940): Niccolò Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) (Book) “The Prince” by Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) Thomas Hobbes /Leviathan (on Wikipedia) Crisis of Democracy: Report of the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (Michael J.

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the Radical right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other group, and frequently does so. I know of the operation of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” (“Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time” by Prof. Carroll Quigley, Page 949-950) John von Neumann (Wikipedia) Martin Luther (Wikipedia) The Early American Reception of German Idealism by James Good (Amazon) Wilhelm Wundt (Wikipedia) Thorsten Veblen (Wikipedia) Conspicuous Consumption (on Wikipedia) Vilfredo Pareto (Wikipedia) Gaetano Mosca (Wikipedia) Sociology of the Elites by Michael Hartmann (Google Books) Elite Theory (on Wikipdia) Peace Revolution episode #22 “The Best Enemies Money Can Buy / The Arch which connects 2 Pillars” Peace Revolution episode #37 “Justified Sinners / The History of Eugenics in America” “The American aborigines, Negroes and Europeans are as different from each other in mind as any three races that can be named; yet I was incessantly struck, whilst living with the Fuegians on board the ‘Beagle', with the many little traits of character, shewing how similar their minds were to ours; and so it was with a full-blooded negro with whom I happened once to be intimate” (on SCRIBD) Panopticon (on Wikipedia) Bill Clinton speaks of Carroll Quigley at 1992 DNC (on YouTube) Edmund Walsh (on Wikipedia) Georgetown University School of Foreign Service (on Wikipedia) Hour 3, minutes 45 –end: “The Descent of Man” by Charles Darwin (1871): Francis Galton (on Wikipedia) Adam Smith (on Wikipedia) CATO Institute (on Wikipedia) Marshall Fritz (on Wikipedia) Benjamin Franklin (on Wikipedia) “The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin”(1793) Thomas Edison (on Wikipedia) “Young Thomas Edison” (biographical film 1940): Niccolò Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) (Book) “The Prince” by Machiavelli (on Wikipedia) Thomas Hobbes /Leviathan (on Wikipedia) Crisis of Democracy: Report of the Governability of Democracies to the Trilateral Commission (Michael J.

Carl Von Clausewitz was a military philosopher during the time of Napoleon. His most famous contribution is the book, On War, which outlines nine principles of war that are used in officer schools for many Western armies including the United States Army. They are: Mass"Get there first with the most"Example: Mass-based armies of Russia (ex. infantry) and the US (ex. M4 Sherman Tanks) during WWII led to general victory ObjectiveChoose an objective and stick with itExample: Coalition troops maintained the objective in Operation Desert Sabre and didn't try to do too much by entering Iraq, which we now know would have caused major problems. OffensiveSeize the InitiativeExample: General McClellan's Army of the Potomac in the American Civil War failed to seize the initiative ManeuverMove to more advantageous positionsExample: Hannibal's Army at the Battle of Cannae maneuvered around the larger Roman Army and defeated it Unity of CommandPlace your entire force under the command of a single entityExample: Japanese defenders on Iwo-Jima wasted lots of time and effort by switching commanders halfway through the preparation effort SecurityDon't let the enemy rob you of your advantagesExample: Japanese Navy at Midway lost its element of surprise (because its communications were intercepted) and lost SimplicityKeep your plans clear and simpleExample: Guerrilla militiamen (ex. Aidid's militia in the Battle of Mogadishu) have a much simpler plan that the professional armies they have to fight SurpriseAttack when the enemy least suspects itExample: Germanic tribes slaughtered 24,000 professional Roman soldiers at the Battle of Teutoberg Forest Economy of ForceAllocate your limited forces wiselyExample: Germany Army during WWII did not get immediately overrun despite a 13million-56million numerical disadvantage For more information, read: Armchair General: War College http://www.military-quotes.com/Clausewitz.htm How to Make War by James Dunnigan On War Military History Podcast is sponsored by Armchair General Magazine and the International Research and Publishing Corporation
