Creating a Successful Plan

There is only one of you, and a plan requires more than one person to pull it off. Communication must be clear so there's less possible surface area for people to get confused or to do the wrong thing. The seals refer to this concept as decentralized command where everyone leads and everyone understands why they're leading. So that in the event things don't go your way, which oftentimes happens, you have a plan for what you would do.
