From the Paper:

"It is generally conceded that a military leader must take a long-term view; indeed, the higher the rank, the further the required vision. While the troops will be working towards known and established battle goals, the leader must look further ahead so that these goals are selected wisely.

By thinking about the eventual consequences of different plans, the leader selects the optimal plan for the team and implements it. By taking account of the needs not only of the next campaign, but the campaign after that, the manager ensures that work is not repeated nor problems tackled too late, and that the necessary resources are allocated and arranged."
