Observing China’s blockade of Taiwan during Exercise Joint Sword 2024B brought me back to my time as an officer cadet at Malaysia’s Royal Military College, where one of the core tactics we trained in counter-insurgency was to cordon and isolate the objective before launching an attack. The logic was clear: cut off the target from support, contain its ability to respond, and only then, strike decisively. This tactic resonates not just in military operations but also in today’s strategic landscape—whether it’s managing geopolitical challenges or safeguarding business interests. The importance of preparation, isolation, and timing in neutralizing threats is as relevant now as it was then. As we navigate complex and dynamic environments—be it in national security, physical security, cybersecurity, or corporate strategy—understanding how to contain and mitigate risks before they become critical is key to success. These lessons remind us that in any high-stakes arena, preparation and decisive action will always be the difference between winning and losing. #Leadership #Strategy #Geopolitics #AsiaPacific #Security #Resilience #Preparedness
