3. Detaching Emotion and Adapting Plans Mid-Action

AUTHOR NAME: Admiral James Stavridis, United States Navy (Retired)

BOOK TITLE: To Risk It All: Nine Conflicts and the Crucible of Decision

Key lessons include not getting emotionally involved, quoting The Godfather: "Never make the mistake of hating your enemies. It clouds your judgment." Bill Halsey failed this by becoming emotional in competition with Admiral Spruance. Stephen Decatur demonstrated preparedness to change his mind in Tripoli when he switched his plan from cutting out the USS Philadelphia to burning the ship.
