You were asked – TMP link What makes a bad general bad? In the final round of voting: 11% of the votes – "ignores logistics."
10% – "blames everybody but himself."
10% – "paralysis or indecision when facing an opponent."
9% (tie) – "blindly believing the enemy will conform to the plan" OR "indecision" |
