8 Tenets:
Adjust your end to your means
Keep your object always in mind
Choose the line (or course) of least expectation
Exploit the line of least resistance
Take a line of operation which offers alternative objectives
Ensure that both plan and dispositions are flexible – adaptable to circumstances
Do not throw your weight into a stroke whilst your opponent is on guard
Do not renew an attack along the same line (or in the same form) after it has once failed
“In strategy, the longest way around is often the shortest way home.”
“Maneuver or be maneuvered upon.”
Captain B.H. Liddell Hart
