that Alexander the Great succeeded in the Battle of Gaugamela because his army was efficient in their teamwork strategies.
Alexander used his smaller, yet more structured team to pursue avenues that Darius had not fathomed. He arranged for his troops to use long swords to prevent opponents from an attack. Darius had a team that was large and spread out, which allowed Alexander’s troops to cover more significant areas of the battleground. Alexander’s awareness of equifinality allowed him to come up with simple, yet effective ways to prevail over the enemy. Darius failed to identify opportunities that could have helped his troops be successors of the battle such as empowerment. He could have focused more on being both effective and efficient. He felt that Alexander’s team was smaller and inadequate in relation to his own, and that having more troops in numbers would automatically be an effective way to win. Darius may have benefited from prioritizing his own plan of achievement (Fernbach et al. 2015).
In conclusion, the writer feels that Alexander the Great succeeded in the Battle of Gaugamela because his army was efficient in their teamwork strategies.
