[[Walk on]]. - [[Perfection is achieved through continued refinement, not a single act]]. ## Notes - If the person is below you in the chain of command, remind them that perfect is not the reality.

Identify the essentials. Know what you're doing to do. Let tactical maneuvers fill in the gaps. - [[Perfection cannot be planned. It can be achieved in spite of imperfect planning.]] - Flawless execution doesn't happen. It doesn't exist. They had flawless follow ups.
