This is Jacko podcast number, two, eighty five with culture
and me Jocker willing Goody MIA.
really and also joining us tonight, Dave Burke Biddy Mean gave good evening or its.
We're gonna dive into some work that I have been waiting to dive into it. I wait
because I wanted to do it justice I waited because I wanted to. I wanted to be thorough in covering it. I waited because there's a lot of work to come
and knowing
into this. This particular book books
series of books, articles individual
The more I read
Over the years it it got better and better and kept getting better.
make more sense to me from our from a tactical battle war perspective,
from a leadership perspective.
from a how to lead perspective and all
contrarily, like a red cell type, how not to lead
from our relationship, leadership, capital perspective and a gender perspective
so basically, I was just seen everything in my life wrapped up in in this particular this particular
individual and his work
half of that, so that there's another podcast, that I've got waiting in the wings. Worse, gonna take a series of markets, but its waiting in the wings arm. Super
I had to do it, but I can't do that podcast until I do this podcast, or at least
This punk ass for at least a couple progress on this individual, this one man, highly influential
a guy named beach, Ll Adele, heart basal, Henry modelled heart
probably guess, if you don't know who he is, if you know military history and military strategy and military fury at all, you know who he is. If you don't know who he is, you can
I guess that he's british cause he has the first name basal right I mean
it's pretty british name, isn't gonna buy, based,
I guess he went by be H. I guess I'm guessing
That's how we write his books
maiden name was Adele. She was scottish rate born and raised. I guess on the border of England
outside the LE dealt the heart side. Was farmers.
was, he was wont to some really nice. Private schools
we grew opening want born in France for growth in England, he went to some really nice private schools. The first one
Private schools, it he went through is called Saint Paul's, which is in London, and it was founded in fifteen o nine high school.
In fifteen o nine? Ok, so you
just kind of crazy when we think about England than he
up at Cambridge University which, by the
It was founded three hundred years prior to that pink one thousand two hundred and nine one thousand two hundred and nine one thousand two hundred and nine. Well, he left Cambridge University won World war. One broke out volunteered to the british army. He was in the king's own Yorkshire. Light infantry
that Light Infantry broadcast. Recently Dave you trying to tell you you like that. One day, new idea may judge our thinking about supplied him for treatment, because it's a mindset, it's just that
just have way that people are trained. It's a way of thinking, and I gotta pull that real time at muster.
And do it all the way to muster and put it into my brief loans at point that you made it well
Oh point behind that, like the largest theory, when you went into it, was
the size of the force, is not the deciding factor this large this. If
if you have a smaller force, doesn't guarantee or defeat in the whole point of this is like hey: how willing to move? Think maneuver,
way that a smaller force it looks weak on paper and his outmaneuver, these big giant forces because their inflexible immobile their dug in so that, theoretically, in my mind,
Connected with all sorts of, can you imagine, as I was learning jujitsu and thinking about that actual thing? How many? How
how many elements started to just come interview by come out of the fog as I'm thinking through that very thing, I'm going to do some like. Oh, if I can maneuver myself over here and put all my force against a smaller portion of their strength, I can win all right, so he,
He goes into the british army. He is part of kings, own Yorkshire, Light Infantry, shot up to Yorkshire,.
You spend time on the western front, World WAR one got sent back from the front two times because he was born
and had concussive injuries, cool Ellison,
you into the front. You got blown up so bad that you got sent back yet concussive interest. Could good ok go back aright,
get blown up again bomb, but you know what you good: ok,
back again. Third time it goes back cool.
back just in time for the battle, the song and
during about asylum wounded. Three times
continue to fight. Finally, he gets gassed badly enough that he can't continue. Fighting his battalion
was just about wiped out on the first day of the offensive. Boundless on this to his battalion was some of the sixty thousand casualties on day one and then,
of them and those events clearly left a mark on his mentality, because you
let me go off and talk about the animals have used. The word stupidity before cause is not the right word, but the the the problem with
world war, one of hey, ok, we just lost a battalion at
six hundred core zero six five gave your battalions going ok days, but
just got, wiped out. Okay, echo it's six ten year, but I go.
So what we're doing that
mark on him.
Eventually after you want
start queue up, went back trained new recruits wrote the
infant retraining manual
after the war. After then, after the war in the bright me for training manual, he
got married compared to women
stone were wondering what layers there
had a son, your garden,
in twenty seventh came a journalist military historian. Military theorist wrote them.
With road. So much, it's ridiculous were so much if you'd, just writing all the time
Historical writing analysis.
For Prime Minister chamberlain- and he was
The key was kind of manoeuvring in and getting people to think in a different way
by way of using air power different way of using tank power, different way of using maneuver warfare and, of course we are
What happened with Prime Minister Chamberlain? He was weak and Churchill took over
and when Churchill took over, they kindly used the more traditional
our strategy. In the beginning,
who didn't do that you didn't do that Hitler. The knot
who were actually paid attention now,
some question around how much influence heart Adele heart had over the
these there is definitely some meaning they were written. You know the line and
patent I read your book right. So patents ain't. He read Ramos Book. Well, there's there are
sure connections between Rommel and some of the other
more known, more well known and some of the less well known nazi leaders that were written hissed often young activists makes this makes sense, there's all
a lot of people that will say that that beetle,
Heart kind of inflated that a little bit
but there was some influence
so, regardless of how much of a connection there was, even if there were
the connection they were both thinking the same things right. They were both taken, learn the same lessons which does not happen, sometimes hear you.
Somebody in one situation there in a vacuum from someone else
them in a similar situation like World war, one there's a prick
the chance if they could come to similar conclusions like maybe it
smart, just to line up and start attacking all
once maybe we should use them decentralized command. May we should use maneuver warfare, so they all
I came to the same conclusions, meaning beach, Thou heart meeting, some of the German
Patsy leadership and
That stuff kind of came in a black, so he wrote a bunch of this stuff down. He wrote a book called the strategy of the indirect approach, which was also printed or as the way to win wars which
pretty cool and what this is kind of. What kicked me into hyperdrive of doing this, and we talked about this on the underground, so I did a post about.
about the civil war. I oppose the social media post about the civil war about the battle Chancellorsville about
acts and taking the indirect path going. Fourteen miles around the flank of the union troops and
The battle in an hour, as opposed to just taking the direct assault towards the union
switch is a half mile and
from the comments in their work.
Where would we focus on the most? The comments like that makes sense, use the indirect approach- and I
about using it towards people and an elite
position how the indirect approach is normally the best way to go.
and people were like you know, you should just tell the truth like are you saying you should lie to people's those that whole thing? And so I look I I.
No, where I got these ideas from so mystery to me,
in part of it is the fact that.
You put me in and put someone environment and you make them figures.
We're gonna come to the same conclusions right so some of this stuff
Think of whom men go.
the flank makes a lot of sense, and it makes a lot of sense leadership, but but I asked
know that these ideas were drip into my head over the years and when you do a basic seal assault on a target, guess what you set up a base element,
that puts down covering fired than flanking element goes around us? What you do? It's, not! It's not rocket science, so
I know that some of my indirect,
theory my thoughts around into the indirect strategy, the indirect approach. I know some of those we're just from being in the military.
But I also know that some of it came from reading cart
made me crack open some of these books again and made me kind of fast forward. In my mind too,
getting to these sooner in this part, cast.
because, let's face it, win.
Well. The theories based in reality right in
that's good. That's what's interesting about this. We have some of that spent time in the military, because the the.
The name of this book that one of the books were look at today is: is the strategy vendor indirect approach in its about the theory right? But if you
someone.
When you have someone that's been in war and spent time it
military leader and spent time in combat in spent time in the worst kind of combat, like the actual worse com,
the actual worse, combat boundless all like the worst com.
actual worse combat. It
be it doesnt is our fear any right. That theory becomes based deeply in reality and that's what we have with
this book and were becoming covering two of his books today, or at least trying to cover two of em we might make it through. I don't even know how much because there's a lot to talk about what is called the strategy, the indirect approach which which
that was also reprinted, is the way to win wars and the other one is called strategy straight up. So I guess we're gonna get to anything. Dave,
I wrote down the word travesty when you were time over one, I just brought that were down just to remind me of the thing that I think about is what you'd you when you type
losing a battalion. It says, there's a scale that things actually kind of hard to comprehend. When you think of a battalion I've, we have lost I've been on patrols, we lost a vehicle lots of people in a wholly
A battalion is on a scale and distorted the willingness
the willingness to allow that to happen overnight
and then than in retrospect thinking, and I wasn't
this, as you said, it was
the Germans had to learn that same lesson. They had to have learned the same lesson in on the moon.
We're takes little bit of pride and sort of showing up having the similar
words and then saying, when we
not doing this anymore and really takes pride in that and we teach at history but in
actual world war. One you're Talkin, yes, in actual, are one of showing up
after the war had been under way for quite some time, getting
border. How is how is due being done and then get suffering?
of casualties in the very initial engagements insane. We're done with this direct assault approach
The larger pointed out is the ideal
that
just for him, but for Germany as well, but the idea that the way we did, that
was a travesty and that that
that you would see how those lessons apply to well beyond just warfare that that would sink into your site in every single everything you did in your life would be,
informed of such a ban,
waited astride like its influence on a level that you wouldn't it
think how you did war. You will rethink every aspect of your life if you suffered the casualties too. That degree because
of their willingness for leaders to say does. I could describe your betimes gone Europe next,
the fact that influenced every aspect of life is actually not even remotely surprised me
Deanna boils down to know, and I know you I could I say this Dave it. It becomes not just a theory, not just a strategy but a way of thinking away.
That is what it becomes and what's interesting, is we're about to hear exactly how that transpired in his head.
and this is something we covered this week actually covered this on the underground. But I just I had to touch on the underground, but we're gonna go deep. So here
Here the preface my
strata. My original study of the strategy of indirect approach was written in nineteen twenty nine published under the title
the decisive wars of history? It has been out
for it for some time. So there's another third title: that this book has been published under
in the following you in the years following its publication, I continue to explore this line of thought and from them
results of such further study compiled a number of supplementary notes which were put
ITALY circulated since the court
of the present war has provided further examples of
value of the indirect approach and thereby giving fresh point to the thesis the issue of
New edition of the book provides an opportunity to include these.
So now he's writing this these putting this one out in world war to an actual towards the end of world war. Two, because, while he's three heads of talking about World war, two what's happening
when, in the course of studying a long series of military campaigns, I first came to perceive this
curiosity of the indirect over the direct approach, I was looking men,
we for light upon strategy, so we started off just
like. Ok, how we, how does this work? How can we win seems like this indirect things, pretty cool
a good strategy for the battlefield with deepening reflection. However,
I began to realize that the indirect approach had a much wider application that it will
as a law of life in all spheres, a truth of philosophy,
a love life in all spheres. So this is where we get
Z, because there are so many people, so we
others like. Oh, you gotta be direct like that she's such a common theme in the world. You gotta be direct. You gotta be frank, you're too, so so I get it I get it I get it. He found that this has a much wider application.
a love of all a love life in all spheres, a truth of philosophy. It's free
and was seen to be the key practical achievement in dealing with any problem
the human factor predominates and a conflict of wills.
Hence to spring from an underlying concern for interests kicked so here
where this gets awesome, so he's talking about conflict right, a conflict of wills,
and what we might fail to realise is that if I'm on the same team is Dave we can also.
still have a conflict of wills. Cause Dave wants do a, and I wanted to be
So even though we are on the same team, that's
Like one of the other perspectives that I
about this, you don't I said
leadership, capital and relationships that this applies. A hundred percent there too,
in all such cases.
all such cases, so this case is that where you have the human factor, any
You got the human factor in all,
cases, the direct assault of new ideas programme,
looks a stubborn resistance. Thus
intensifying the difficulty of producing a change of outlook.
They ve. How long have you? How many times have you heard me tell this to clients, tat people? This is it
it's I don't have, the vocabulary explained how often we save
in some version of that sentence in everything. Would I be careful.
I could barely two just is hearing it invokes
many things I think about, but he's almost articulating it like
when there is a human component of this, and I think it myself so when is
not when in my life and my not interacting with another human being. If we're, if we're doing computer software design right, we don't have to worry about the threat. If we're over,
Actually, programming a machine of some kind really to worry about other than that other than that

the motives of my team, I imposed planet
it's gonna be resisted, asking to make the choice

If my wife wants something- and I attack it, it's gonna be

back to the book. Conversion is achieved more easily and rapidly by answers.
did infiltration of a different idea or by an organ,
that turns the flank of instinctive opposition, so you're gonna get more easily
more easily and more rapidly
conversion of their brain will come when you flanking check.
and faster and very rapidly and more easily
by an unsuspected infiltration of a different idea and by the way, don't let what we'll get to it
So so there's some people that are thinking of what your nutrient alighted if now knocking alighted Dave,
Does it mean I like doesn't mean I say why should they wish to use my plan because Adamnan make up some intel that sports my plan to make
but time line that sports my plan. No, that's not what I'm talking about at all that the book
in commerce. The suggestion that there is a bargain to be secured is far more potent than any direct appeal to buy.
And in any sphere is a proverbial that the surest
way of gaining a superiors. Acceptance of a new idea is

This is something arm again, maybe

as in war, the aim is to
We can resistance before attempting to overcome it and the effect is best.
and by drawing the other party out of his defences, great we're not attacking harden positions
This idea of the indirect approaches, closely looked related to all problems of the influence of mind upon mind.
all problems of the influence of mind upon mind, all Brown,
any time. To my mind, against someone else's mind, this is where we need to go indirect. The
most influential factor in human history
yet it is hard to reconcile with another lesson that true.
conclusions can only be reached or approached by pursuing the truth without regard to where it may lead or what its effect may be on different interests
So what do we say in there now we say: wait a second raising what should
we know, and after the truth like, isn't it the look if I'm working we Dave
I think my plans better.
I need to tell him that that's the truth
truth is my plans better and what
hard about this is almost universal things. Piss me off
there's, no one that it's it's a it's! It's against all
more
high ground to lie right,
The opposite of lying is what truth telling the truth. So
we're sorry to think that this is not telling the truth and what are we doing? We must be lying.
so, how do so? How do we reconcile, as we say in we, reconcile this wait? I've
plan than Dave, I think, might
it's better, I she told the truth, that's what I should do. I should lie to him
We're not talking a line to back to the book history.
bears witness to the vital part that the profits have played in human progress, which is evidence of the ultimate
practical value of expressing unreservedly. The truth is one sees it. Okay, so now we're gonna get he's gonna. U
the example, historical examples and there's countless of profits
someone that is profit that stands up and says. This is the truth, as I see it and tells the truth.
yet it also becomes clear that the acceptance and spreading of their vision has always depended on another class of men. What's the other class of men leaders leaders
who had to be philosophical, strategists, striking a compromise between truth and men's risks,
Tivoli to it? So lately I've been saying a lot of,
good, is telling the truth. If no one hears it or no one listens to you, you, if you
stab somebody in the eye with the dagger of truth. What are they going to
they're gonna be passed, they're gonna,
they're, gonna, lash out you they might even you know, pull
side. Armand shoot you in that got, but they,
If we don't want to hear anything from it and they'll, do there
ass, to pull
thing back out. The stab you with so even
Any progress at all, so that's a profit. Does
it says this is the truth and aims to have you in the eye with it. A leader has to find that count.
Mice between telling the truth and getting people to actually listen to it.
their effect is often dependent as much on their own limitations in perceiving the truth. As on their practical wisdom in proclaiming
So, how are you going to tell the truth, practical wisdom? How are you gonna what're, you gonna say how are you
They will actually be listened to.
And then he goes on to say this. The profits must be stoned
That is their lot, that is there
of their self fulfilment. By what happens the profit, the
forget stone. The prophet gets crucified. That's what happens.
But a leader who is stoned
may merely prove that he has failed in his function through a deficiency of wisdom or,
confusing his function with that of a profit. This is pure brilliance by the way. This is absolute, pure brilliance,
if you're, that the Vienna leadership position and what you do is
Start stabbing people with the dagger of truth in the neck.
and you think, you're doing a good thing gets what they're get TAT
you and they're gonna stone you to death. There can execute you get used to having people and offended eminent hurt them and-
using convince anybody, have anything
Sometimes you get a leader that look. The truth is
they are the true here. That's not good! That's not gonna help you
It's crazy you're, like on page one page, one yeah, I think.
the phrase. That's been coming to mind a lot lately we talk about this is, is.
A truth at its impose upon somebody compared to the sugar. They discover for themselves the difference between those two and
I'm thinking of all that, like the phrases that people use when they're going to reveal the truth. Let me stop
right their actual
when you hear people prepping for the the direct assault,
which is I'm not gonna. Let you know, and even the
preparation for that. Just
praise alone puts the other person in a position where all we want to do is defend themselves and end
the words they come next, almost don't even matter because, if I say actually Jacko
the reality, is that reality is the first thing you do is. Is you mentally your dug it? No matter how true
well, I'm gonna be after that it just
connection these making, though like the how universal about as to all interactions, is just the Ets
it's crazy! Listening to this and then the the application to every interaction you have with every
if any human being and how instinctive it is too. I guess
tell the truth and how ineffective that way of thinking is
the outcome, the you're trying to shape a controls every receive the movie writers of the love lost orchestra calf. So there is a arc light are fully arctic of the covenant and I think that
With this kind of like that, if you review that truth in it,
proper way people's faces are mounted off. That's what happens so people people treat the truth.
as if it's only benevolent as if
only do good, but you got me
this collateral that truth causes collateral damage and people don't pay attention to that too. When you start pole,
if the lid- maybe you gonna, like you, gotta prep people, for it
you gotta turn your eyes for a second here, there's gonna be some bright lights if you dont problem for and what what we want to do
what we want to do is we want them to reveal the truth
I'm that's what we really want
really good leader, look a profit, will show you the truth. Maybe you'll get melted away.
good leader. You son,
discover the truth. That means
go, but you need to know so the whole expression, the truth, hurts
that cause I've, gotta commonwealth drivers would that be an indicator of maybe a profit or or of the problem is not the correct
but all day, long profit. As I look look echo to
its parliamentary some, how houses help
open minded or you when I get done with that statement I would meet. It was stubborn resistance check, and you know we like to think that we, you know, I really have a good relations
Put some great, there might be one person in your entire life that you like a dude that was jacked up in your cool goddess of what
miss Rennie. There's one person in your life, you can do that with you is maybe isn't that
end of the day in a way the indirect approach anyway, because you may say: ok that one person yet, but you know why is that one person, because you have this year's in years and years and years and years of this indirect, innovative approach or whatever? And then yes, oh, you open up the little hole that yeah yeah that direct light all day now there now these out? Oh, yes, you are correct. Even that approach, because of you too, met that
and day one three years ago and said you are advocating a video you made and I'm not feeling it actually
you know the camera Ngos that you use a marginal right
does it mean the five years of working with you before I could be like bra the soundtrack not actually
Put a Christmas song in. There is actually a way back to the book.
I'm alone can tell whether the effect of such a sacrifice redeem the apparent failure as a leader that does
or to him as a man. So there is a chance that you could. You could present something in overtime,
people go yeah, he was right at the
east, he avoids the more common fault of leader of leaders, that of sacrificing the truth to expediency without ultimate advantage through the cause. So occasionally
leaders like you, know what we just need to tell the truth: any sacrifice it, it gets killed a gets thrown away and then one of the books that are or what the pond cast an eye one move to from this one, which I will get to him, not hump censure when, but they all these examples of problems in in the military and milk
thinking in one of the problems, and I forget the exact number, but there has been
twenty major advancements in naval warfare in the last five hundred years?
and every one of them was met with absolutely stiff resistance, not everyone. Seventeen of them were met with stiff resistance by all.
in your naval leaders in the world, the only started making ships from steel instead of one
like? This is real. You can't repair steel. We need a well drafted. They resisted-
into the steam engine, switching to gas,
which I read these all switching to that all the every people resisted every one of these things, every one of what was our seventeen out a twenty of great advancements. It happens all the time because,
Somebody goes hard with the truth and people the fan they go: an instant defence mode to Lake Rimmer, the movie or independence,
Armageddon dried, I dont think I ever actually saw it, but that's good flick of yours
Was not up for several Oscars anyway Armageddon Bruce Willis, oh yeah
Come in right was that it was the plan that want to watch arm again a deeper started from
independence day I was law has dominated mountain has completely lost. I apologize. It's ok Alex. We do asteroid coming right, world, a world ending asteroid, global killer, so
like hey, let's just for a blast it with nukes employer right on the sky, then than the smart scientists like that's about idea, and one gets all mad rate.
No, that's it we're going to eat a direct approach. Lunch nukes right can't get any more direct than that, but the smart scientist, it notice what you going to do you going to go in there, you got to drill a little hole,
you're, gonna, put a knook. In that whole, you gonna just nudge, it just a little bit side. Another trajectory that trajectory gets changed. He seems a thousand smarter approach same thing exactly right here I
going through historical bookstore, unofficially this device with that arm again we get an audience will say you will get a bother without check back to the book. We good. Yes,
I'm just saying these ideas everywhere. I go back
for whoever habitually suppresses the truth. So this is this: is it
as we have to pay attention because again
It's not me lying to Dave and say well, actually gave the timeline that required for the plan you, but we better use my plan. Whoever
habitually suppresses. The truth in the interest of TAT will produce a deformity from the womb of his thought. So you can't
you can't lie about what you're saying
have to maintain,
You have to maintain the truth, but you have to take an indirect approach. That's it.
It's not a lie. It's an indirect approach bound to the truth,
he explained and a little bit more. Is there
a practical way of combining progress towards the attainment of truth with progress towards its acceptance.
Is there a way to get Dave to think about
I plan and utilise my plan with also
doing it in a way that he is open to accept this idea? Is there a car
nation of those who thinks of cattle.
Dave the truth about what I think of his plan and at the same
time getting him to accept my opinion? That's what we!
right.
A possible solution of the problem is suggested by reflection on strategic principles, which point
The importance of maintaining an object consistently, and also
Of pursuing it in a way adapted to the circumstances.
this seems so obvious- is that we were
We continue to focus on the right thing, but then we continue move towards this objective, but as
Circumstances change we adapt we d, just we maneuver, we say: oh yeah, there's a mass
enemy location right here. Let's not continue in that direction. Let's go around it. Isn't it
mark to do that with our ideas as well, it doesn't mean we abandon the objective. Doesn't me we were
Oh we're,
change, the subjective, we're not gonna continue towards. It means we adjust our approach
maybe, instead of going direct, we go indirect
Position to the truth is inevitable. That's a good thing to remember,
Opposition to the truth is inevitable, especially if it takes the form of a new idea, but they did
of resistance can be diminished by giving fought.
Only to the aim but to the method of approach.
avoid a frontal attack in a long established position. Instead
to turn it by a flank movement so that the
or punishable side is exposed to the thrust of the truth.
But in any such indirect approach take care not
diverge from the truth for now
thing is more fatal to
real advancement then, to lapse into the untruth so for the people that commented?
when I talked about the indirect approach and we like oh she's, gonna lie
your people, no no,
we're not gonna lie to our people. The truth is the objective, but we are going to adjust our approach so that we're not offensive
the individuals or groups that we're talking too so that we don't caused them?
to put up a more stiff resistance to fight against our idea. Two to four
to look at it as if it's not the truth, flank. That's already do.
And then he goes on here- and he says
Meaning of these reflections may be made clearer by it
stretching from one's own experience, looking back on
the stages by which various fresh ideas gained acceptance. It can be seen that the process
east, when they could be pissed,
did not as something radically new but as the revival in modern terms of a time, honored principle or practice that have been forgotten. So he was his one of his little indirect approach has has
take a new idea and an ad camouflage it with an old idea, catholic wonder what the Christians did with the Viking
right Easter. You know where that you know the term Easter, and yet it's it's a pagan thing, but we call this a pagan were.
And it's a pagan ceremony, but decreases
or you can call the thing in the spring. We call at Easter, it's cool it's about Christ rise
but you know we called Easter.
sort of a thing that you guys already do they just gonna take an old idea. Rebranded actually
they did think they did, though, with Christmas,
Christmas, two. So that
what we're doing we're gonna camouflaging this idea. So it's a little more open to. You know how you guys do the this spring
thing

That's so so here's what we're gonna do.
this guy's a historian right and the next a giant chunk of these books is. He goes historical that book we remain
people went statistical, oh yeah, that's right, it was one of those world war tooting. Somebody went statistical that often

He goes from the greek wars, the roman wars, the byzantine wars, the medieval wars, the seventeenth century, eighteenth century, the French Revolution Napoleon he gets
First World war this?
World WAR and he goes through just detailed battles and talks about the indirect approach and what we're gonna do is rushing to bypass this and there's a couple reasons why
number one get the box get the books number two. This is what we do all the time on. This progress is actually
We do all the time on this podcast. We talk about
Napoleon we talk
this portion, Russia, we talk about world war. When we talk about world war. Two we sought about Vietnam. We talk about Korea.
And we ve seen and pointed out the indirect strategy all the time, all the time. That's what we do. We
how are you talk about the flank right? Does this
talked about maneuver warfare? This is what this is about this. What this whole part guesses about is thesis

If you want to get those brine, who knows, maybe one day will jump into these, but if
want to jump into them. Get the book did the book strategy
I'd be excellent heart. You can get in depth on these things
but what I want to do is I want a kind of jump ahead
book strategy where he goes into the theory of strategy.
And he starts opposite. Having drawn our conclusions from analysis, oh by the way, the analysis that he's talking about that he draws conclusion from his like three hundred and fifty pages is this. You know this,
when he started about. You need two studies, all these different ears. He does it and points out
direct approach in how it winds every single time. Even
was by accident. It's what makes us win.
As having drawn our conclusions from analysis of history, it seems advantageous to construct on the fresh
creation of a new dwelling house with Strategic fought, so hard
looked at all these things that have happened and we got a kind of get. We kind of gonna hit the reset button.
He says. Let us first be clear on what is strategy. Klaus wit
in his monumental work on war, defined it as the art of the employment of battles as a means to gain the object of war, in other words, strategy.
comes strategy forms the plan of war maps out the proposed course
different campaigns which compete.
Was the war and regulates the battles before me now? This is
Probably since episode, seven of this punk ass people been occasion across what,
You two concepts on what you gonna on war and theirs.
Couple reasons why I haven't done it yet, and I am sure we will- and I owe it to
military history to do it, but
there's a couple reason reason it's like kind of such a popular one. That's a hey! You know what that's right out there. Is it really the first one I want to hit I'd rather hit some other strategical ideas. I mean I guess I did do something, so I'm were so. This is not. This is ward. Excuse me.
I've always known that Klaus wits or I always felt that crosswords, you know, respect respect. Crosswords were given in respect by the way. Here's why
this crossroads, is no just hey military theorist right this guy that sat no ivory tower and thought about war.
he entered the military at age, twelve as a lance corporal
ignore them say it like. This is no joke
in the Rhine campaigns, fought in the napoleonic wars. Winston
military Academy at Berlin worked works.
sure unhorsed who have talked about a bond
On this point, gas, because when it comes to maneuver warfare, he's gotta that guy in the beginning that lost with the press
army to the point,
the battle agenda, and we need
he looked around what the hell just happened and realise there were some
centralized some indirect warfare goin on and started kind of, making that well
browser, it's kind of was under his wing.
And then, when the Prussians made an alliance with Napoleon concepts like now
He joined the Imperial russian Army and then, when they buy
got that alliance you back to the depression army. It was

just battles, Napoleon
battles.
At the battle of Waterloo, he was he was in that
campaign. He was preventing someone Napoleon reinforcements showing up which

and, by the way, this whole time he's writing down what his thoughts are.
He he ended up are dying of cholera before he.
These before he was able to complete his works and really before you might say, and Labelle Heart kind of makes, the assumption that he was kind of hidden in a different direction.
So he's crazy, he's respectful but critical of crosswords, that's kind of that's. I must say that we have always felt
but a kind of have always felt that way a little, but I don't know maybe
That's because I am a little bit of a contrary, but
may be more than that.
which says things that I go really really
by the way the Klaus Wits mentality is kind of what brought us to World WAR One and that mentality of mass, which is what his primary premier
principles is like K, we're gonna get. I have more people than you, I'm gonna win, which.
As we know, we compare that today the the principles behind Light Infantry, not what we're looking for
there is also a connection in there to even

but we know that that's not the deciding factor. We know that interesting

Back to the book one defect of this definition. That was the definition of of strategy, which was the art of employment of battles, as means to gain the object of war, so that that's crosswords his desk
F initial one defect of this definition is that it in truth on the sphere of policy or the higher conduct of war, which must necessarily be the responsibility of government and not of military leaders. It employs
its agents in the exam,

Fourteen different ways and he's got to go into a chaperone northward,
today, but there's a higher
level strategy called grand strategy, and so
he's thinking ram strategy policy. Another
defect is that it narrows the meaning of strategy to the pure utilization of battle vote,
conveying the idea that bad
who is the only means to the strategical end it
easy step for Klaus, with less profound disciples, to confuse the means with the end and to read
the conclusion that in war in every in war,

To make sure that you are empowering your subordinate leaders to make things happen,
and not saying hey. Here's exactly. I want you to do it. Here's what I want to do with your team. Here's one! What to do with your tools: here's that's
you're crossing the line you shouldn't have to do that.
to have those conversations.
We should be to say, hey Dave. This is what we're trying to make happen. How do you want to do it
Dave who's on the front line, says: hey Boss, here's what I'm think it looks good, go exe

as is all we got, sorry and you said that what we need to back combat it- or we do not do this market area

Let's make sure that we delineate the roles and responsibilities clearly enough that we know what we were trying to do,

a strategy of limited aim egos into a little bit here.
This is the strategy of womanly limited aim. It may desire to wait until the balance of force can be changed by the intervention intervention of allies or by the transfer of forces from another fear.
It may desire to wait or even limit its military effort permanently, while
Economic or naval action decides the issues it may calculate that the overthrow of the enemies, military power as a task, definitely beyond its capacity and not worth the effort, and that the
Jacob. It's war policy can be assured by seizing territory which it can either retrain, retain or used as a bargaining counter when peace
negotiated so so right to every one of those things is indirect.
It's it's. It's a limited aim. It's like! Oh, you know what I wanted to kick Dave's ass, but
he's way, bigger and way better at Jitsu than I thought he was
So you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna like say: hey man instead of

bigger and stronger than Dave he's been training more Jujitsu operative. Wait to hear a Dave you mind if we had better. Have you roll with echo rights on bringing its reinforcements
the strategy of limiting limited aim so
policy has more support from history than military opinion has recognised,
and is less inherently a policy of weakness than some apologies imply. So just because I say
You know what, if I'm, not, really look involve human way to echo, get your does not necessarily week. In fact,
it might be smarter in fact,
if I think you can beat me and I'm pretty sure, you're gonna beat me,

when did Britain got no want, maybe we'd
fight fight that war, maybe willing give that up. Maybe wanna give that area. Maybe we needed bargaining and moving move into an area that we know we can take and then what
will negotiate for back later.
The more usual reason for adopting a strategy of limited aim, is that of awaiting a change in the balance of force. Wait until echo shows up a change.
Often sought and achieved by draining the enemies force,
weakening him by pricks, instead of risking both. What, if you know what a Dave Adam,
we want a role today, echoes
you're in a little while, but while you're waiting wants role, couple rounds of carry and wants role a couple rounds with dean, and so here you are fighting all these battles by the time ECHO trolls Joseph Fresh he's just had a discipline, go he's Re Rock n roll you're, tired your nine rounds.

that's what I was doing while you were rolling with guy after guy after guy I'm keeping track of time. For you
the object may be sought by reading his supplies by local attacks, which annihilate or inflict disproportionate portion of loss on parts of his force by Loring him into unprofitable attacks by car.
An excessively wide distribution on of his force.
no least by exhausting his moral and physical energy. This is that the exact example right, I don't think I'll. Kick your ass, but
what echoes gonna be here in a little while in the meantime, I'm great entice, amateur, go hey again, go get a couple rounds of Gulf Google CUP, rounded Dave boom and just rough you up and

and I am also thinking of just the idea of even going to war, the american military and in more
of our opponents. Certainly more recent history. The aim wasn't destroy the american military.
It was too

back to the book. This closer definition sheds light on the question previously raised of a general independence in carrying out his own strategy insiders theatre of operations, for if the four,
The government has decided upon a limited aim or grey
strategy. The general who,
within his strategic fear, seeks to overthrow the enemies. Military power may do
harm than good to the government's war policy. So what that say at Saint like
Dave out there. He super aggressive unease at no one on when it comes to take this whole area, and we want the can take.
They can worry, we're not occupy it. I don't have the people who occupied now calls more problems so, just because you're winning doesn't mean your women.
Usually a war of limited aim.
A real policy of limited aim impose the strategy of limit game.
Decisive aim should only be adopted with the approval of the government, which alone can do so,
whether it is worth the candle old school expression. I didn't really nordic men had a look it up worth. The candle means we're gonna

like we're gonna, we get some work to do to night call like the candle. But how much are we really gonna get dont, not work. The candle is back in the day clinic. Is the juice worth your sword, the squeeze exactly
We can now arrive at a shorter definition of strategy, as quote the art of despair.
beating and applying military means to fulfil the ends of policy. End quote:
strategy is concerned, not merely
the movement of forces as its role
often defined but with the effect,
when the application of the military instrument merges into
actual fighting the dispositions for and country
of such direct action are termed tactics.
Categories, although convenient for discussion, can never be truly divided into separate compartments, because each each
only influences but merges into the other, which is why leadership Strachan Taxes is called leadership, strategy and tactics kind, a convenient that it worked out that way, but but listen. Here's what's important is what we're doing.
It doesn't matter what matters is how it ends up
matters is the strategic effect. That's why we have to think strategic all the time. That's what we need to do next section higher or grand strategy, as tactic
in as taxes and application of strategy on a lower plane. So strategy is an application on a lower plain of grand strategy. So he goes one level up. Oh mother, think we got tat. Go we operational, pleasantly talk about operational. There must be a modern thing. Tactical opera

plus elysian stuff in there, but that the previous,
It was as
thinking of sort of like the business alignment of this, this military concept is
how often we are we engaged in tactical battles that don't promote or support
the strategic goal and I think
was. I think it was the debris podcast, but you said this is: if what you were doing it
tactical engagement, urine, supports
the big picture strategy, it's not tactical its strategic, and if it doesn't it tactical
and your engaged you shouldn't be doing, and how often do we,
dig in on these, these small things that, even in the end, if we win dont reinforce the big picture, call the objective
How often do I, on with my team, the marketing team

some sort of success are enabled to look at that as a leader and go on a listen
This this doesnt matter this we don't need to dig in here. Let them have this we're playing the longer games, because what was the company to when and how?
It is for us to decouple this idea that
The battle is a strategic notes. Now it's not
if you of my right yeah absolutely
for the role of grand strategy. Higher strategy,
is to coordinate and direct all the resources of a nation or band of nations towards the attainment of a political object of the war, the goal defined by fundamental policy

Between the services and industry, moreover, fighting power is
one of the instruments of grand strategy which should take account of and apply the power of financial pressure, diplomatic pressure, commercial pressure and least of ethical pressure to weaken the

How hard it is, what you get up a high ground to get back up onto the high ground when you give that up,
back to the book. Furthermore, while the horizon of strategies bounded by by the war,
grand strategy, looks beyond the war to the subsequent peace,
it should not only combined the various instruments but so regulate their use as to avoid damage to the future state of peace for its security and prosperity.
sorry state of peace, for both sides that has followed most wars can be traced to the fact that, unlike strategy, the realm of grand strategy is, for the most part, terror

exploration and understanding. That means unknown territory. So this is this: is
beyond thinking strategic and it's kind of the way we term thinking strategic in off everyone.

If I'm looking at this particular area that I want to, I want to open up a shop here open up a couple of locations in this physical. You know this geographic area to compete with our competitors.
I think all of my resources, every penny. I've got every tool it I've got and I get in their co. Baker go that's right

leadership capital on getting gave too.
Although my order on getting Dave to you don't pick up. A client
No, it's going to be painful and now forcing them to do it in whatever one of the case may be. Is it worth that leadership capital?
we have two way that out- and you know what you're talking about a we got, the the diplomatic we got, the
the commercial pressure, the financial pressure, the ethical pressure, all those things in the middle.
There is part of that guess what it from a leadership perspective.
The military thing is this: is my rank higher rank you and we're gonna go by force, that's wars that should be there's six, seven, eight twelve other components that I can utilise as a leader to make something happened and the
I want to use the one that cost me the most leaders of capital as the military one, which is my rank, which is on the boss, use you listen to me
to compel someone, through the threat of force, as your only tool to get them to comply the threat of force and even ill.
The the moral high ground I mean how convenient would it be if you and I are in a situation looking at something and mine was the moral approach and yours is the immoral approach which requires no money.
No time no resources, no equipment to go out in a loud,
hey, listen. If we do this, we take the IMF if we take the on ethical and we get found out at, and someone just goes owe him in your right.
Now listen man. I was you're right. We need to do this. We do seem to do the right thing here. The the
teaching a win from that alone or the
the spectrum, the military and, as I come,

I'm getting you took to behave in a way that
the time. I've got this.
later on and only remember I got the court from, but I talked about this podcast media talked about Eve online. It's
It's something along the lines of

success lies in the closest approximation to the truth again, his use
more truth is a little bit is-

How much should I applied to this? How much for should I applied? We want to apply the minimum force required, but when
to be perfectly that so, which one
is close is weak hand this
relativity is inherent because, however, our knowledge and of the science of war be extended, it will depend on the art for its application. Art can,
only bring the end near to the means,
by giving a higher value to the means, enable the end to be extended. This
complicates calculation. Big
No man can exactly calculate the capacity of human genius and stupidity, nor the incapacity,
Well, so there's all these things that we have to account for as leaders

innovation is simpler and a close,
approximation to truth possible than in tactics, solution
very interesting point its
easier to calculate big, broad, strategic things, because you are a little bit further away from the human component
for an war, the chief incalculable is human will, which manifest
in resistance which, in turn lies in the province of tactic strategy, has not to overcome resistance except from nature. Its purpose
to diminish the possibility of resistance, and it seeks to fulfil this purpose by exploiting the elements of movement and surprise. Now
school and everything. I would say that there is definitely that's a stretch because we ve seen collect the collective will of a people, change the outcome of strategic situations for sure,
so even though I said hey, it's it's closer to its still. Can have a huge
Impact I mean look at Vienna like oh well, we
beat them because we can kill one hundred. Fifty vietnamese soldiers and vehicles
it is for every one of our people are killed so whirlwind now. Actually we want when, because guess what the their collective will is: freaking incredibly strong
but movement and surprise me
lies in the physical sphere, and
on calculation of the conditions of the time. Topography and transport capacity by transport capacities meant both both the mean
by which the measure in which force can be moved to maintain? Ok, so there's the fiscal fear, sphere of movement.
Surprise lies in the psychological sphere and depends on a calculation of far more difficult than in the physical.
or of the manifold conditions varying in each case, which are likely to affect the will of the opponent. So you got two things:
you ve got movement you got prize. This is how we're gonna kind of wind.
This is how we gonna win by movement. Surprise, movement, physical, surprise, psychological,
Although strategy may aimed more at exploiting movement, then at expo
surprise or, conversely, the two elements react on each other. So even though their different spheres, there
still closely woven together, move

prize gives impetus to movement, so this
digits right. If you surprised somebody, they have to react to it,
Make someone move by surprise.
there was something for a move
which is accelerated or changes, its direction inevitably carries with it a degree
surprise, even though it be concealed,
while surprise smooth the path of movement by hindering the enemies, counter measures and counter movements. So if I suppose you don't under active you're, not defending this,
obviously not something this guy was thinking about. When I think about flying stealth aeroplanes,
the psychology of that is what I what I have discovered
and its true, not just an airplane, ensue in every situation
more often than not
pulls reaction to being surprise, is not the right reaction. They don't usually racked well, even when it
I could still like an overreaction and reaction
think about how you react at winder surprised.
Are those usually like good, smooth, effective responses, Hunter Preserve, Yak and when
You look at stealth, aeroplanes. The advent of Americans showing up was still there. A pleasant and sort of accommodating really was in desert storm when note even knew he had of and all of a sudden
tell their brains are over Baghdad dropping bombs.
and the Iraqis didn't under they do
not understand what was happening and there
action was over.
Now you know that their proliferated, that's
on a significant, undersized force when your flying around the stealth aircraft- and then I'm fine
against you and your conventional aircraft and the first call you here is hated the first four of your aeroplanes are old debt and and
psychological response to that?
is almost always the wrong response, the reaction that they may behave erratically. They move in different right. They they don't know what to do the cycle,
the responses. Surprise is almost always the wrong reaction and the
our of creating that
action your opponents is really hard to overstate, and that's really one of the three.
That stealth aeroplanes have allowed us to do is get our opponents to behave incorrectly.
To give us an even more of an advantage, you're off balance them some, yet
because what you just said when you said they either of reactor and react, guess what you there either.
balance right, a balanced, measured response back. Ok, we didn't really him off balance, but you either overreact or yonder react and through
Surprise you cause them to move too far in one direction too far in the other direction. That's what's gonna happen in that's we're gonna! Take advantage of it
explain this a ton like if I
attack your arm and you only
react to a point where you do not almost all react at all and you just let me have it then I may actually culminate with an hour but
more than likely you're, gonna overreacted. I want you to react and it's like an attack, something else, but it's, like you said:
it's the lack of a balanced response. It's usually an overreaction. Usually
that reveals a weakness somewhere else that I can then explained the up
as regards the relation of strategy tactics, while in execution
the borderline is often shadowy and is difficult to do
I'd exactly where a strategical movement ends in a tactical movement begins. Yet in conception. The two hour

it lies in the fields of tactics, lies

Go on with the aim of strategy. This statement
may be disputed by those who conceive the destruction of the enemies armed force, as the only sound aim in war who hold that the only goal of strategy is battle and who are obsessed with the Klaus Vision saying that below
that is the price of victory, yet, if,
should concede this point and meet its advocates on their own ground. The statement would remain unshaken for each

Look out for that
It rests normally with the government responsible for the grand strategy of war to decide whether strategy should make its contribution by achieving a military decision or otherwise justice.
Military means is only one of the means to the end of grand strategy. One of the instruments in the surgeons case, so battle is only one of the means to the end of strategy.

Let's assume that a strategy is empowered to seek a military decision. He's responsible,
