About this Quote

This quote by Andre Maurois suggests that organization is a mix of two relatively diverse tasks: battle and sporting activity. Battle is commonly viewed as an adverse activity, including conflict as well as damage, while sporting activity is viewed as a favorable activity, entailing competitors and also collaboration. Nonetheless, both activities entail technique, preparation, and risk-taking. In service, these same aspects are required for success. Service needs a competitive spirit, the capacity to take risks, as well as the ability to strategy and plan. It likewise needs the ability to work together with others and to be adaptable despite transforming scenarios. In this way, business is a combination of war and sporting activity, needing the exact same abilities and also strategies as both tasks.
