4' - A Message to Garcia

Elbert Hubbard’s essay, "A Message to Garcia," is a call for employees to be more conscientious and responsible in the workplace. The essay details the story of a messenger named Rowan who successfully delivered a vital letter to General Garcia during the Spanish-American War. Hubbard uses this story to highlight the importance of loyalty, initiative, and dedication to duty. He contrasts Rowan's actions with the common tendency for employees to ask unnecessary questions, shirk responsibility, and complain about their work, ultimately arguing that such behavior hinders productivity and hinders success. The essay gained immense popularity, being reprinted in numerous publications and translated into multiple languages, cementing its status as a classic piece of business literature.
