I am presuming "Wise" and "Good" are just two different behavior patterns.
First, The "wise" strategist always analyze and compares the benefits that are gained from deploying various types of "fire attacks". Once he determine the timing for a certain type of an attack is appropriate, the "good (efficient)" general will fight to win.

The difference between the wise and the good is like describing the distinction between a professional and an amateur.

Sun Tzu said, "Therefore, I say the wise general thinks about it, and the good general executes it."

The great general thinks before he acts. The good general must be controlled by the great general so that his "risk" will not turn into a "gamble".

Just as entering the fray without a plan is disasterous, so is planning a strategy without implementation. The consummate leader does both. He is organized enough to plan and courageous enough to put the plan into action.
