Thus the skilful general conducts his army just as though he were leading a single man, willy-nilly, by the hand.
Sun TzuWhen the general is weak and without authority; when his orders are not clear and distinct; when there are no fixed duties assigned to officers and men, and the ranks are formed in a slovenly haphazard manner, the result is utter disorganization.
Sun TzuTo see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.
Sun Tzu
