One of the greatest generals in military history was Napoleon Bonaparte.Made a full general at the age of twenty-six, he utilized shrewd strategy, bold cunning, and lightning speed to his advantage to win many victories.
The Duke of WEllington,one of the general's most formidable enemies,sais, "I consider Napoleon's presence in the field equals to forty thousand men in the balance."
"I will tell you the mistake you are always making,"Napoleon said,addressing an opponent he had defeated."You draw up your plans the day before battle,when you do not yet know your adversary's movements."
Napoleon recognized in his losing opponent a weakness that he himself did not have:lack of adaptability.If you are willing to change and adapt for the sake of your team, you always have a chance to win.
