Enlightened Leadership

"The enlightened leader will recognize individual differences and vary his appeals (positive and negative) accordingly. He will try to create a sense of trust, self-discipline, and responsibility that emphasizes the dignity and judgment of the individual Navy man or Navy woman as well as the operational needs of the Navy. I believe the enlightened leadership practiced by our Chief of Naval Operations (Admiral Elmo Zumwalt) has proven it can raise the quality of Navy life for young and old alike."
