Primary Evidence
"A company is nothing more than the sum of its people’s abilities. Let me use an example from the Warring States period: though the Takeda cavalry was small in number, they routed their opponent and won… In the end, it’s about how to boost employee morale."

"“Attack” refers to “offensive power.” Oda Nobunaga set up traps with wooden fences and guns at the Battle of Nagashino. He deployed three thousand elite shooters in a three-tier formation and erected horseproof fences to block the Takeda army’s cavalry, leading to the annihilation of Takeda’s forces with innovative tactics."
