Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your soldiers must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical purpose.
If we know that our own men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the enemy is not open to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory.
If we know that the enemy is open to attack, but are unaware that our own men are not in a condition to attack, we have gone only halfway towards victory.
If we know that the enemy is open to attack, and also know that our men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the nature of the ground makes fighting impracticable, we have still gone only halfway towards victory.
Hence the experienced soldier, once in motion, is never bewildered; once he has broken camp, he is never at a loss.
Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.

Talking in the surgery terms, however, it should be able to apply to other field, too.Translation:
Regard your clinicians as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
If, however, you are indulgent, but unable to make your authority felt; kind-hearted, but unable to enforce your commands; and incapable, moreover, of quelling disorder: then your clinicians must be likened to spoilt children; they are useless for any practical purpose.
If we know that our own men are in a condition to treat, but are unaware that the lesion is not open to attack, we have gone only halfway towards recovery.
If we know that the lesion is open to attack, but are unaware that our own men are not in a condition to attack, we have gone only halfway towards recovery.
If we know that the lesion is open to attack, and also know that our men are in a condition to attack, but are unaware that the nature of the informed consent makes treatment impracticable, we have still gone only halfway towards recovery.
Hence the experienced clinician, once in motion, is never bewildered; once he has broken sterilised packages, he is never at a loss.
Hence the saying: If you know the lesion and know yourself, your recovery will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your recovery complete.
