    Don't hold back...apply full effort and complete the job.

    * Get Everyone Involved.

    "In forming for a great fight, it is not regarded as a very special favor

      efforts, then send them to work.

    * Elicit Full Potential.

    "Great crisis in human affairs calls out the great in men."
    Identify and mentor your talent; seed quality in your organization.
