I Like The Cut Of His Jib !!

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. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2015 is 80th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

Leadership

“Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best for you. The attributes of loyalty, discipline and devotion to duty on the part of subordinates must be matched by patience, tolerance and understanding on the part of superiors.”

Chester Nimitz

hmm. Leaders are not given the luxury of picking good men since they must make do with what they have been given. True leadership is building what you've been given into an effective command that builds on the strengths of all and buttresses the weaknesses of others while constantly striving to improve the overall abilities of everyone so they can grow to become the pillars of the command and other commands in the future.
