In the article, A Message to Garcia, Hubbard talks about how a man name Rowan who was asked to deliver a very important message to Garcia. This message was very important and needed to be delivered to him but the problem was, no one knew where he was. Rowan was called upon to deliver the message because they knew that no matter what it took or how long it would take he would get the job done. The article later on talks about those who are the opposite of Rowan. When asked to do a task, these individuals ask a ton of questions and make excuses which normally result in the tasks not getting done or passed off to someone else. This article is important when compared to running a business because there are normally two types of people, one who …show more content…
These individuals are normally the last ones who come to work and the first one to leave. They normally miss a lot of days causing more work on those who does what is required of them. When asked to do a task, they come up with a ton of reasons as to why things shouldn’t be done. They normally do things their way instead of the way that their supervisor asked them to. They don’t do things in a timely manner or they may push the task off on someone else. These people only do the bare minimum. They have a negative attitude which causes the customers to not want to return. They make a business unsuccessful and they are part of the problem than the solution. A successful business can only be successful as its successful people. Unfortunately, it is hard to find a lot of Rowans today. A lot of people don’t have good work ethics. I think that a lot of companies are forced to fill available positions that they sometimes just want a body to fill those vacancies. This cause the Rowans to become burned out and either slack in their job or leaves and look for other employment. Businesses with people like Rowan should be very thankful because these are the people who will make their business

In “A Message to Garcia,” Hubbard wrote, “How the 'fellow by the name of Rowan ' took the letter, sealed it over his heart, in four days landed by night off the coast of Cuba from an open boat, disappeared into the jungle, and in three weeks came out on the other side of the Island, having traversed a hostile country on foot and delivered his letter to Garcia—are things I have no special desire now to tell in detail.” Then, Hubbard explained, here was a rare man who had the ingredients for success that are needed everywhere. Rowan immediately set out to do what he was asked to do and he did it. There were no excuses or foot-dragging. He didn 't demand that someone furnish him with detailed plans of how to accomplish this assignment. He didn 't hesitate. He didn 't waste time. He didn 't give up, although there were plenty of temptations to do so. He stayed focused on his goal, partly because he saw how it fit with a much larger goal. He was tough and tenacious. All of which are key characteristics for a successful worker.

This directly clashes with the views of Elbert Hubbard, who in A Message to Garcia laments the lack of such a person who would conform to a superior’s orders. Through the course of that writing, Hubbard expresses frustration with those who would question the ordered task at hand or do anything but it and perhaps even outright refuse, the quiet presence of the humble who do as asked, and the bad fortune of the employers who cannot find dependable employees to perform

Business Studies is an important course that prepares students to face the real practice of commerce.
