Worth Repeating - Moral Imperative of Naval Command

"I have known men in leadership positions who were neither intelligent nor energetic nor moral. They created as much havoc among our own forces as an enemy. In most cases they were quickly found out and summarily removed, but their mere existence (at the Flag level) represented a failure of leadership on the part of their seniors, the ones responsible for or who tolerated their appointment."

"The primary responsibility of a Naval officer in every grade is to ... improve leadership at every echelon."
