From chapter 14, read the following sentence and replace the word "arm/armed" with "competent": "There is a big difference between being armed and being unarmed, and it is not reasonable that an armed person should willingly obey an unarmed person. An unarmed man will not be secure among armed servants, because by being unarmed he will be suspicious of them and they will despise him. So, it is not possible for them to work well together." And, in the same chapter, consider the following sentence: "Therefore a prince who does not understand the art of war, over and above the other disadvantages already mentioned, cannot be respected by his soldiers, nor can he rely on them. He ought never, therefore, to have this subject of war out of his thoughts, and in peace he should devote himself more to its exercise than in times of war. He can do this in two ways, by action, and by study." Considering that the "art of war" can be abstracted as the "art of survival", how do you make sense of the relationship between competence, action, study and strategy, either for a firm or individual?
