Since the evolution of a modern military decision-making process over the past 70+ years, standard military orders have two key componens: a task and purpose. The task is the “what” part of the order, and the purpose is the “why.” During my army service, for almost every operation that I was a part of, the “purpose” was the most important part. As soon as my unit began a given mission, the original order almost always had to change due to a change in the ground situation. And the same can be applied to business decisions. I’m a firm believer in giving a “task” and “purpose”, and let the individual figure out how to get the task done. Perhaps Patton said it best: “Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” –Gereral George S. Patton, Jr.
