a collection of living, breathing human beingswith their own goals, concerns, needs, priorities,

It is essential that we understand the enemyon his own terms. We should not assume thatevery enemy thinks as we do, fights as we do,or has the same values or objectives.
It is essential that we understand the audienceon its own terms. We should not assume that every audience thinks as we do, decides as we do, or has
the same values, goals, or concerns as we do.
We must try to see ourselves through our enemy’s eyes in order to anticipate what he will try to doso that we can counteract him.
We must try to see ourselves through our audience’seyes in order to anticipate what the audience will do
so that we may adapt our engagement to securethe desired outcome.
Maneuver warfare attacks the enemy “system.”We should try to “get inside” the enemy’s thought processes and see the enemy as he sees himselfso that we can set him up for defeat.
Effective communication focuses onthe audience’s worldview. We should try to
“get inside” the audience’s thought processesand see the audience as it sees itself.
