A meritocratic system where shepherds could become generals, where incentives of leaders were aligned with the ruling Khan. In many ways, much of the successful businesses in modern times exemplify similar tactics to the Mongolian army in regards to a stoic way of living, speed, constant iteration, psychology, etc… not to mention how Genghis Khan built a decentralized military unit and nation where accountability resided on groups as no individual was above the community they were part of. The book not only goes into depth (as much as it could) on the history and philosophy of Genghis Khan but also the growth and transformation of an enterprising nation. A nation that morphed into a conglomerate. One that started as a formation of tribal nations that banded to form a competitive force that conquered and built a decentralized system. But another to learn about systems for effective government and organization.
