A general who barks orders no matter what happens versus one who explains the goal and lets subordinates figure out how to reach it. The second approach works because people adapt faster when they understand what they're actually trying to do.

There's 2 ways to sort of lead a troop. A general comes in and says, like, you know, hey, you know, we're losing the war. Why? Well, we had this whole plan and we were telling everybody what to do. We told our commanders and the generals what to do, but they're just not, you know, like things changed, but we had a plan and things are different now. So what do we do next? Versus as long as you just tell those people who are in charge what ultimately is the goal and then say, not I don't care, but like, I trust you to figure out how to get us to that goal. If you have to make moves and make changes, as long as we get the commander's intent. The overall goal is the goal, then you do what you need to do to get us there, and I trust you.
