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.

Accountability
"Men will not trust leaders who feel themselves beyond accountability for what they do."
Oh, you mean the mentality "too big to fail" -- like the 22 skippers probably had who were fired this year..??!! Don't get me wrong, it's an easy, easy, easy trap to fall into especially when people have been excessively praised their whole careers, i.e. over-the-top FITREPs.
