Leadership
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
A leader leads by example not by force.
Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?
- Sun Tzu
