What's the Difference Between War Time and Peacetime?

In his first book, Ben Affleck talks about the difference between war and peacetime. He says both modes of management are necessary to run a successful company. But when things go wrong, it can be very difficult to get your leadership back on track. Admitting that you're in one mode or another isn't an excuse for not doing what needs to be done, he says. The key is being able to see how much control you really do have over everything.
