“Over
the past 44 years on radio I’ve interviewed thousands of guests. Fewer than
one guest per decade, however, penetrated to the level I consider Highest of
the High... The latest to make that level is Gary Gagliardi, whose
translation and explanation of the wisdom of the ancient fabled Chinese
general Sun Tzu slap right up against today’s headlines and make the most
riveting kind of radio.” Barry Farber, Talk Radio Network
Gary
has won more award recognition for more books in more categories

classical strategy over thirty years ago. Using these principles, he
built a multimillion-dollar high-tech software company into one
of the Inc. 500 fastest growing companies in America. After selling
his company, Gary
focused his energies on strategic training and writing books explaining the
principles of strategy.

A Tourist Attraction in China
Gary's work is popular all over the world especially
in Asia. He was once the guest
of Jardins, Hong Kong's original trading company, the "noble house."
While in Hong Kong, Gary was given the honor of firing the cannon
that signals noontime for the territory. Until he and his wife,
Becky, were taken out to the harbor by a military escort, Gary
didn't realized that the event was witnessed by thousands of
tourists and locals who come in boats to witness the event.
In 2001, Gary was diagnosed with a deadly cancer and saw his
fellow patients literally die because they didn't have the
decision-making skills that he was teaching to the world's largest
organizations. As he recovered, he decided to re-orient his training
to help people use the science of strategy in their
everyday lives which resulted in his award-winning self-help book,
Golden Key to Strategy, so that when other's time came to make a
life-and-death decision, they would be prepared.
Here is an article about how he
applied Sun Tzu's strategy to deciding on his treatment...
