Body without a head, or head without a body?

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. - George Patton

This is another somewhat ambiguous one for Caesar (but still of the three I found most reflective) in regards to his command.
In class we hear about the Caesar's ideology that the Roman army is a large body but it needs one strong leader to play the head role. I'd like to touch upon the fact that, though Caesar is a strong head, none of his movements would have worked if the body of Romans beneath him weren't as tactful themselves as they were. I'd just like to give them as much credit as Caesar himself. Though the body requires the head to figure out the movements, the head requires the body to physically move.
