Why having a Plan B can sometimes backfire
- dredmorbius 6y agoAt the critical moment, the leader of an army acts like one who has climbed up a height and then kicks away the ladder behind him. He carries his men deep into hostile territory before he shows his hand. He burns his boats and breaks his cooking-pots; like a shepherd driving a flock of sheep, he drives his men this way and that, and nothing knows whither he is going. To muster his host and bring it into danger:—this may be termed the business of the general. -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Book 11.
