Hannibal - Zhuge Liang of the Western world

After reading a few chapters of Sun Tzu Art Of War which originated from China, I went online to find out if there is any famous military tactician in the western world. I found Hannibal and read about his famous flanking/pincer movement attack against a numerical superior Roman forces at the Battle Of Cannae. How he turn his troops weakness into strength and weaken the strength of his enemy by reshaping the enemy formation for a Pincer Movement Attack. How he uses the River, the direction of the sun and Wind against the enemy. The placement of his stronger units against the weakest point of the enemy formation. The basic of war planning consist of the Heaven, Earth, Moral Law, Commander, Method and Discipline and mastery of this 6 aspect in battle planning means decisive victory.

The Battle Of Cannae demonstrated most if not all of the essence of this vital 6 aspect of Battle planning as read from the 1st Chapter of Sun Tzu Art Of War. I like to see example of its application in Business, Work and Office Politics...

"If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory you gain you will suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy or yourself, you will succumb to defeat."
