In my previous post about Shingen’s famous Fuurin Kazan, I remarked that the original Sun Zi quote said that the “forest” part says that “the army must march as compact/solid as a forest” (basically it has to be neat and orderly), and I said I have no idea why it became “silent as the forest” in Japan.

I’m wondering if that’s actually a mistranslation by later-date Japanese linguistic analysts, and that Shingen himself would’ve understood it correctly as “compact/orderly” in his day.

Shown above are actual Fuurin Kazan banner artifacts from the museum, and it was a direct copy of the text from the Chinese Sun Zi text. The issue with the forest part 其徐如林 is that 徐 was interpreted by modern Japanese writers as “silent”. It’s likely because 徐 can be read as “shizuka”, which, if written with a different kanji, would mean “silent”.

The shizuka that means “silent” normally looks like this in Japanese: 静(か). However, because Sengoku-era archaic Japanese sometimes uses "wrong kanji” based on its sound, not for what the actual kanji actually mean, perhaps people from later time periods thought that Shingen used 徐 as an “alternative kanji”, and thought that his intention was to say 静.

I can only assume this was a later-date (probably modern, even) error, because even today in Japanese the word 徐 does still means “slow/gradual”. The only reason I could think of as to why people would mess it up and assume that it meant something other than its literal meaning is because they don’t understand the original Sun Zi.

In the original Sun Zi strategy, the phrases are to be understood as pairs of two, as classical Chinese poetic language tends to do. Wind and Forest is one set: “When marching fast, move like the wind. When marching slow, be as compact like the forest”. Fire and Mountain is another set: “When attacking, be as fierce as the fire. When defending, be unmoveable as the mountain”.

The reason why I say it’s likely a very modern mistake because even entering Edo period the Japanese are still educated in classical Chinese literature. Some of the more classically-trained samurai and scholars can even just read the Chinese text directly themselves, while modern people would find these archaic phrasing very strange and hard to understand.

Sun Tzu'nun Savaş Sanatında Strateji

Sun Tzu'nin Savaş Sanatı adlı eserinde strateji ile ilgili geçen bazı notlara bir bakalım isterim:

Savaş sanatında stratejinin anlaşılmazlığı en önemli unsurdur.

"Stratejisi olmayan" savaştan ve "gerekçesi olmayan" çatışmadan kaçınmak gerekir.

Önce stratejiyi belirleyip sonra da uygulamayı yöneten komutanın komutası, akıntı içinde yüzmeyi başaran bir dal gibidir.

Savaş Sanatı stratejisinde, neyin ne zaman yapılmaması gerektiğini bilmek, neyi ne zaman yapmayı bilmek kadar önemlidir.

Stratejisi olmadan düşmanını hafife alan bireysel savaşçı, düşmana esir düşmekten kendini kurtaramaz.

Ordunun yapısı stratejiye bağlıdır; strateji ise olayların akışı ile belirlenir.

Aldatmacalar (strategem) kullanılmaksızın strateji geliştiremezsin. Strateji geliştiremezsen de düşmanını kontrol edemezsin.

Askeri liderler öfkeye kapıldığında, genellikle stratejilerinde kargaşa ve karışıklık oluşur.

Düşmanın üzerine stratejisiz giden, savaşta kendi kendini yok eder.

CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF SUCCESS: LESSONS FROM SUN TZU IN THE SOLTZU CONSULTANCY FIRM

In the realm of business strategy and leadership, Sun Tzu’s timeless wisdom has transcended centuries, providing invaluable insights that remain relevant today. As we navigate the intricacies of the corporate landscape, consultancy firm Soltzu stands out as a prime example of an organization embodying the principles laid out by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War.” In this article, we will explore how Soltzu cultivates a culture of success by applying Sun Tzu’s teachings, creating a dynamic and thriving environment within the consultancy.

Understanding the Foundations: Soltzu’s Multifaceted Approach

Soltzu, a renowned consultancy firm, boasts a multifaceted approach to providing services ranging from leadership development and organizational culture transformation to technology integration and strategic business planning. As we delve into the lessons from Sun Tzu, we’ll uncover how Soltzu strategically weaves these elements into the fabric of its organizational culture to foster success.

Lesson 1: Know Thyself and Thy Competitor

Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and understanding the enemy. For Soltzu, this means not only recognizing its own strengths and weaknesses but also staying acutely aware of the ever-evolving landscape of competitors. By conducting regular assessments and staying abreast of industry trends, Soltzu ensures it remains at the forefront of its field.

In practical terms, this involves continuous internal evaluations of the consultancy’s service offerings, identifying areas for improvement, and understanding the specific needs of its clients. Soltzu’s commitment to leadership development, for instance, is a manifestation of this self-awareness, recognizing the critical role effective leadership plays in achieving organizational success.

Lesson 2: Strategy without Tactics is the Slowest Route to Victory; Tactics without Strategy is the Noise before Defeat

Sun Tzu’s emphasis on the marriage of strategy and tactics finds resonance in Soltzu’s comprehensive approach. Each service offering is not merely a tactic but a strategic move in a carefully orchestrated plan. For example, leadership development is not isolated but intricately linked to organizational culture transformation and strategic business planning.

Soltzu ensures that the tactics employed, whether it’s coaching sessions for executives or implementing technology solutions, align seamlessly with the overarching strategy. This integration prevents disjointed efforts and creates a cohesive approach towards achieving long-term organizational goals.
