Like I said,
I generally don't think that the military should use business as a model. But
there are exceptions in specific cases, especially on leadership of large
organizations.
Peter Drucker, one of the great thinkers about
how corporations really work, in describing
the Generals Motors of the 1940s, mentions that 95
percent of all decisions were left to the heads of the company's various
divisions. "Hence central management refrains as much as possible from telling
a division how to do its job; it only lays down what to do."
Mission
command, anyone?
