There is a lot one can learn from military ethos and practices.

Written around 500 BCE, The Art of War by Sun Tzu not only serves as a guide to modern military strategy, but has also been adapted by top leadership across the board. In fact, almost all modern management principles are a derivative of military operational strategies, which have withstood the test of time in different cultures, geographies and circumstances. Practised over hundreds of years, these were tried and tested under the most trying circumstances during military operations where millions perished.

Mission Accomplished examines strategies that define a military process to accomplish a task in an operational scenario.
