"Bosses who think they’re great, are the most frightening. It’s usually the strongest leaders who have the lowest tolerance for their bosses’ bungles.
Strong leaders think, “I’d never treat MY team THAT way...which PROVES he’s a jerk.”
The truth is, he’s just an imperfect human doing the best he can. Just like you."

It occurs to me that the Navy could benefit from more unrelenting, demanding and insensitive bastards and fewer spineless politicians, phony butt-sharks and misguided nursemaids.
These days people whom are comfortable speaking truth to power and providing peers and subordinates with timely and honest feedback seem to be in alarmingly short supply.
Here's to all those so-called antiquated, insufferable and heartless jerks with-and under whom I have served. Thank you for your high standards, imposing demeanor and tough-love! I have grown more as a leader and accomplished far greater things because of -rather than in spite of you.
Thor,
Bravo!
