Napoleon's First Principle
The first principle of a general-in-chief is to calculate what he must do, to see if he has the means to surmount the obstacles with which the enemy can oppose him and, when he has made his decision, to do everything to overcome them

Intel moved over from Memory Chips to Integrated Chips

Napoleon's Second Principle
A plan of campaign should anticipate everything which an enemy can do, and contain within itself the means of thwarting him. Plans of campaign may be infinitely modified according to the circumstances, the genius of the commander, the quality of the troops, and the topography of the theater of war

Bill Gates staved off competition from Sun Microsystems, IBM, Netscape, Linux and a host of other competitors

Napoleon's Third Principle
Read over and over again the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene,and Frederic. Make them your models. This is the only way to become a great general and to master the secrets of the art of war. With your own genius enlightened by this study, you will reject all maxims opposed to those of these great commanders

Sam Walton used to regularly visit Kmart, Woolco and other retail chains and learn best practices from them

Napoleon's Fourth Principle
When you have it in contemplation to give battle, it is a general rule to collect all your strength and to leave none unemployed. One battalion sometimes decides the issue of the day

Dhirubhai Ambani concentrated all his resources to beat the bears that tried to pull down the Reliance Stock

Napoleon's Fifth Principle
The first qualification of a general-in-chief is to possess a cool head, so that things may appear to him in their true proportions and as they really are .
IBM Chief Lou Gerstner understood that IBM was losing money in the product business and moved over to services

Napoleon's Sixth Principle
An irresolute general who acts without principles and without plan, even though he lead an army numerically superior to that of the enemy, almost always finds himself inferior to the latter on the field of battle

In the 60s, Kmart had 700 retail stores when Walmart had 7.Today Kmart has disappeared while Walmart is the market leader.

In the 90s, Daewoo was a fast growing company while Samsung had a shoddy doddy image. Today, Daewoo has gone bankrupt, Samsung is the market leader in consumer durables.

Napoleon's Seventh Principle
The effect of discussions, making a show of talent and calling councils of war will be what the effect of those things has been in every age: they will end in the adoption of the most pusillanimous or the most prudent measures, which in war are almost uniformly the worst that can be adopted. True wisdom, so far as a general is concerned, consists in energetic determination

GE & Coca Cola weathered through all crisis in 100 years because their core competence is strong. Infosys & Wipro survived the Dotcom Crash because of their strong resolution.

Napoleon's Eighth Principle
It is exceptional and difficult to find all the qualities of a great general combined in one man. What is most desirable and distinguishes the exceptional man, is the balance of intelligence and ability with character or courage.

Infosys & Indus League has grown because it has been set up by a team of entrepreneurs.

Napoleon's Ninth Principle
Nothing is more important in war than unity in command. When, therefore, you are carrying on hostilities against a single power only, you should have but one army acting on one line and led by one commander

Indiainfo could not grow as their promoters could not agree on any issue.

Rediff grew phenomenally under the command of Ajit Balakrishnan

Napoleon's Tenth Principle
The camps of the same army should always be so placed as to be able to sustain each other.

When Tata Motors was in trouble, Tata Finance bailed them out and vice versa. The problems with tringtring.com lead to the collapse at Aptech

Napoleon's Eleventh Principle
It is not by harangues at the moment of engaging that soldiers are rendered brave. Veterans hardly listen to them and recruits forget them at the first discharge of a cannon. If speeches and arguments are at any time useful, it is during the course of the campaign by counteracting false reports and causes of discontent, maintaining a proper spirit in the camp, and furnishing subjects of conversation in the bivouacs.

NIIT has a portal that allows the employees to interact with each other and also at the top level

Napoleon's Twelfth Principle
You should by all means encourage the soldiers to continue in the service. This you can easily do by testifying great esteem for old soldiers. The pay should also be increased in proportion to the years of service. There is great injustice in giving no higher pay to a veteran than to a recruit

GE has grown every year because they manage to retain the top talent.
