Translation:

After that, comes tactical maneuvering, than which there is nothing more difficult. The difficulty of tactical maneuvering consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain.

Commentary

With a clear intent and organized force, the next step is to get them into motion.

Maneuvering involves moving. Good maneuvering is like playing chess, where much of the game is about positioning in order to secure effective attacks that lead inexorably to victory.

In business, strong execution is very important. You can strategize all you like, but if you can’t do what you planned, you are likely in deep trouble.
