Business lessons from a D-Day landing:
“Looking back, officers in the 116th Infantry attributed their success; ‘largely to initiative and aggressiveness of small unit leaders who made the best of a bad situation. Landing in most cases far off their assigned objectives, with large losses of men and equipment in the water, they had to improvise in order to cope with the strange fortifications to their front.'”
