“The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-five years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege.”

This is the fascinating story of one of the most consequential people in history.

Genghis Khan invented one thing, and it was so significant it allowed him to conquor a third of the world. And it is so pervasive today, that we don’t even think about it.

I loved this book, which is one of the most important ever written on leadership.
