Means and Purpose

Feb

If you have a clear goal (purpose), you should figure out what to do (means). But when the purpose is not clear, you do things just for the sake of doing things.

Usually when you exercise, you have reasons. Loose weight, get in shape and so on. More strong the goal or purpose is, more you exercise. As a manager, you need to make sure you communicate the purpose and let people do whatever they to make hot happen. If they fail, remember Sun Tzu's words.

Sun Tzu said: "If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame. But if his orders are clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers."
