Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 9:04PM 006 - Confronting Hannibal
The confrontation between Rome and Hannibal reminds me of when Charlie Sheen was going through his confrontation with the lead writer for “Two and Half Men,” Chuck Lorre. At the time, I remember hearing a radio personality talk about what a bad idea it is get into a war of words with a writer because of their unparalleled ability to control a conversation and leave you looking foolish.

Your thoughts immediately after these posts are always appreciated. Through your feedback I can better understand what ideas you most appreciate. Thank you! Jon
Loved This Post! Of course, I'm also a history so that might be why. The stories of Rome always fascinate me and I particularly like hearing about Hannibal! Thanks
I didn't know that is where the name Fabian Tactics came from. Learn something everyday I guess.
I will be sharing this article with my team. We are currently in the process of trying to think differently in this new economy. I will also check out the podcast by Mike Duncan that you mentioned. As a manager I travel a lot and if it's as good as you say, then it will certainly shorten some of my drives. Did you send this video to him? Ill bet that he would enjoy hearing from a fan. Just a thought.
Checked this site before I went to bed to see if this post would be up. Pleasant to see it was. Thanks, I enjoy watching these.
Why wasn't Hannibal able to conquer Rome? It seems if he was raising such Hell, then that would have been the ending of Rome.
Tiny&Rad, that question is up for debate. Many wonder why Hannibal never attacked the city of Rome itself...but he never. He kept his distance. Also, if I remember correctly, out of the chaos rose a great Roman General Named Scipio Africanus who was eventually able to defeat Hannibal back in Africa. Rome eventually dealt Carthage a blow from which it never recovered.
DarleneDream, Yes I did send this video to him when I posted it last night. He has a lot of followers, so I'm not certain if he'll even watch it. Maybe though.
A person who knows words can control any conversation---! You are so right!
LOVE THIS!!! I took a different 'relate aspect' from Hannibal and Rome... I work for a small company, and my competition outnumbers me 3 to one in each city I call on. I have to out-think myself, and my competition, every day. I loved looking into this blog and once again trying to grow professionally!!! Great job!!!!
