Message to garcia
In the story “A message to Garcia,” a leader needs someone to deliver a message to another leader quickly and with no mistakes. One man accepted the task not knowing where to find this other leader and only going off of the name Garcia. Today people wonʼt just accept such a task. Instead, theyʼll question the practicality, require specifics, or ask for something in return. For instance, if an employer asks their employee to mop the floors, that employee will do one or two things, stop what theyʼre doing and immediately get it done, or finish what theyʼre doing first. If that employee didnʼt stop and immediately get the job done, then the employer would most likely find another employee to complete the simple task while the first employee finishes what they were already doing. The more valuable employee in this situation would be the one who just quickly mopped the floors with no more words then “yes sir” or “yes maʼam. A person who is willing to provide their services under any condition is someone who can “deliver a message to Garcia.”

He travelled by boat to the coast of Cuba and from there travelled by foot through the jungles and across the mountains until he ended up on the other side of the island and delivered the message to Garcia. This man not only got the job done but he did so not knowing where to go or who exactly he was looking for. He didnʼt ask for anything in return and he
