Keep Things Simple

Like anything in life, has inherent layers of complexities. Simplifying as much as possible is crucial to success.

When plans and orders are too complicated, people may not understand them. And when things go wrong, and they inevitably do go wrong, complexity compounds issues that can spiral out of control into total disaster.

Plans and Orders must be communicated in a manner that is simple, clear and concise.

Everyone that is part of the mission must know and understand his or her role in the mission and what to do in the event of likely contingencies.

As a leader, it doesn’t matter how well you feel you have presented the information or communicated an order, plan or strategy.

If your team doesn’t get it, you have not kept things simple and you have failed.
