  When understood with the right perspective, history can help present business leaders to avoid needless and fruitless experimentation to manage people. Throughout history, people have committed the same mistakes of trying to subdue others, wage wars, commit treachery and various forms of atrocities on each other, leading to the same guaranteed disastrous results. The study of history teaches the current generation to recognise and avoid things that do not work now or never worked in the past. According to Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results.” What was done in the past decided the present and what is done now will decide the future. Patterns are created and the patterns in history help us to recognise repeated patterns today and enable us to predict outcomes. History will not tell you where you are going, but it will tell you how you got there. Though history many not define a specific job profile in the corporate world, by studying the global past, one finds the knowledge and flexibility required in many work situations. For example, you can develop good research skills and use historical examples to design modern business plans. Another benefit is that history helps in identifying, understanding and avoiding cultural sensitivities. It provides evidence about how nations have interacted with other countries and societies in the past, and how long-standing hostility- or friendship- between countries can affect business today
