The Power Path: Evolve from Ordinary to Iconic: Think like a Monk, Act like a Warrior, and Build like a Designer

"The Power Path" book by Arunkumar M. Khannur offers a field guide to modern institutional design for business and entrepreneurial success, fusing the wisdom of classic strategists with lean philosophies, adaptive problem-solving, and design thinking.

- What happens when Sun Tzu's clarity meets Lean iteration?

- How does Clausewitz's focus on ends inform product-market discovery?

- Can design thinking humanize strategy without blunting its edge?

Khannur blends parable, case, and practice into a manual for builders who must design organizations that learn fast and scale ethically. He shows where leverage hides in ritual, how constraints become engines of creativity, and why small experimental loops reshape markets. Leaders gain frameworks to balance ambition and stewardship; founders receive iterative playbooks for risk; educators find prompts to cultivate institutional intelligence.

Through vivid portraits of leaders and rituals, Khannur offers tools to build resilient organizations that learn from failure, scale, and make strategy humane without yielding edge. This field guide is tactical and rigorous yet humane, equipping readers to design systems that surface leverage, absorb shocks, and convert insight into lasting advantage. This is a field guide to modern institutional design for business and entrepreneurial success.
