The Logistics of Leadership.

Each soldier in the D-Day landing in June 1944 required ten tonnes of supplies and an additional tonne for every month they were in action.

(It’s said that amateurs talk strategy whereas professionals talk logistics.)

The further we venture from home, the longer our supply lines, the more we rely on others to supply us with the essentials of life, or we must resort to hunting and foraging for ourselves.

This is why many bosses never grow up and leave home, and punish those who dare attempt to draw them out.
