APPLIED QUANTUM STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE:

Napoleon Bonaparte was a master strategist and problem solver, known for his remarkable cognitive prowess and ability to make rapid decisions amidst chaos. Here are some key aspects of his thinking on these topics:

Problem Solving

Napoleon's problem-solving approach was characterized by his ability to size up a situation with a single coup d’oeil (a glance). This meant he could quickly assess the landscape, the enemy, and available technology, drawing on his extensive knowledge of military history. He believed in having two options for any plan, ensuring flexibility and adaptability. This approach allowed him to respond swiftly to changing circumstances and make decisive moves.

Advanced Strategy

Napoleon's advanced strategy often involved the principle of Zheng and Qi. Zheng is the "ordinary" element that fixes the enemy in place, while Qi is the unexpected and devastating blow. He would use a relatively small portion of his army to hold one enemy force at bay (Zheng), while using his best forces to defeat another enemy force (Qi). Once one army was defeated, he could turn his Qi forces to overwhelm the second enemy. This strategy of maneuvering and indirect approach was key to his success in defeating larger enemy forces.

Napoleon's strategic thinking was also marked by his central position strategy, where he placed his men between two armies, identifying weak positions to penetrate and then using his forces to defeat the enemy in detail.
