Art of War | Losses of Commanders
I have been reading the Art of War recently. It’s great bathroom reading. Sun Bin has a section called ‘Losses of Commanders’ in which he quotes things that commanders should not do:
1. When they lose purpose in their maneuvering, they can be beaten
7. If an army is out in the field too long, it can be beaten
18. If orders are repeatedly modified and the troops are dilatory, they can be beaten
22. If commanders hate to hear it when they’ve erred, they can be beaten
26. If they count on the other side losing heart, they can be beaten
27. If their actions hurt people and they rely on ambush and deception, they can be beaten
Today I will be mapping the vision and strategy for Impact Church. The Art of War is heavy on my mind.
