Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early (even at 30 years). The uniform is in the closet but, he still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. But, he just doesn't try hard enough. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time.

Standards
“You owe it to your men to require standards which are for their benefit even though they may not be popular at the moment.”

People are prone to meet the expectation you place on them. The lower your expectation the less of the result you will get, the higher your expectation the better the result.
In the Navy, too often we underestimate the ability of our Sailors and leaders who are afraid to push people to function outside of their comfort zone fail to appropriately challenge them. Give them a chance, the training and the means to succeed and let them run with the ball; they will often surprise you.
