The Key to Romel's Success Was to Seize the Initiative

The key to romel's success was to seize the initiative with one bold manoeuvre. He would send out his weakest tanks, then have them retreat.

It is up to you be constantly defensive, or make others feel it instead. Any effort to seem not to control a situation, to refuse to influence a relationship, is in fact a form of control.

Your initial push alters the situation on your terms.
