Twenty five years ago, a friend had me video tape him for a presentation he was making on the Leadership secrets of Attila the Hun.

Ghengis Khan has been similarly studied by an author called John Man. And afterwards a rash of articles, not many of them referencing Man's work, come onto the scene.

It seems there is a high demand for fodder for the "leadership secrets" mill. I'm not sure we should admire everything about the man. He did attain great heights,but deployed tactics we would not use in business.
