The Author
Andrew Lin
Andrew Lin grew up on the stories of China's past — tales of warlords and strategists told across the dinner table, long before he understood they were anything more than legends. It was only decades later, after years leading teams in the technology and consumer goods industries and later working as a founder and advisor, that he saw them clearly for what they were: the sharpest business lessons ever written.
The frameworks Western business books reach for today — trust, positioning, timing, the art of knowing when to hold and when to walk away — were mapped out eighteen centuries ago, not in theory, but in the decisions of real people under real pressure. They were simply never translated for the modern business world.
That is the bridge Andrew set out to build. In this series, he takes the stories he first heard as a child and holds them up to the decisions leaders face now — not as history lessons, but as a strategist's field notes across two thousand years.
