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.

I wrote a note and it turned into the opening chapter of a Wall Street Journal best selling book on leadership
Some years ago I wrote a personal note to Liz Wiseman, author of MULTIPLIERS. That note resulted in a job for her at the Naval Postgraduate School teaching the senior leadership seminar about the principles of her theory about Multipliers and Diminishers. The note also resulted in the opportunity for me to rewrite the opening chapter of her best selling book for use in the Middle East.
I also convinced her she belonged on the list of THINKERS50 - the list of leadership thought leaders. We got her on the list.
A simple personal note did that. POWERFUL and long lasting.
Think of what your writing might accomplish. Whom might you help? Who might help you?
