- Choose an objective and stick with it.Objectives must be clearly defined.Actions must contribute to the goals of the higher headquarters.Objectives drive all activities.Real leadership begins at the beginning. To engage your employees, you must communicate precisely what the objectives are. This is a war that cannot be won alone.
- Seize the Initiative. The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself.This is the essence of successful operations and key to achieving decisive results.This dictates the nature, scope, and tempo of operations and is essential to maintain the freedom of action necessary for success and to react to rapidly changing situations.Once you have determined your objectives and clearly communicated them to your employees, you will have a team that is ready to seize the opportunities that arise in your market.
- Focus on the key objective before working toward secondary objectives.Allocate limited forces wisely.Accept only prudent risk in selected areas to achieve superiority — overwhelming effects — in the decisive operation.Exercise discriminating employment and distribution of forces.Identify your priorities and establish the details of your objectives. Minimum essential “resources” means the focus of time and money must be on the primary objectives without neglecting the small details and lower priorities.
- Mass the effects of combat power to overwhelm enemies. “Get there first with the most”.Mass resources in time and space to achieve both destructive and constructive results.Overwhelm the entire enemy defensive system before he can react effectively.Attack a combination of elements critical to the enemy force to shatter its coherence: Leadership Information Firepower Maneuverability ProtectionDetermine the most efficient use of your employees. This is where personal growth comes into play. To know precisely who to assign to what, you need a system to determine the unique strengths and goals of your employees. Determine your innovators, brainstormers, organizers, communicators - find the employees with the strengths to match each objective.
- Attack when the enemy least expects it.Provides a temporary combat multiplier.It is necessary that the enemy become aware too late to react effectively.Innovate. This cannot be properly done if you do not know the unique strengths of your key talent. With the alignment of strength to action, you can maximize the hidden opportunities that arise in your field.
- Always move towards more advantageous positions.Concentrate and disperse resources to place and keep the enemy at a disadvantage.Includes the dynamic, flexible application of leadership, firepower, information, and protection.Place your adversaries or competitors in a position of disadvantage through a flexible application of resources. With the right person in the right place, the company will be able to maximize each and every opportunity. Take the time to communicate objectives and to discover the strengths and goals of your employees. By doing this, you will have shown them that you believe in them, and they will be engaged when and where you need them to be.
- A single commander directs and coordinates the actions of all forces toward a common objective.Unifies action towards common goals and a single objective.For every challenge and objective, ensure synergy among all leadership members. In essence, this means two things: You now know exactly who should be in a position of leadership for each objective.You communicate your collective goals consistently throughout the company. In one word, alignment. By engaging your employees through invested and unified leadership, you can align employees with the objectives and goals of the company.
