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.

Turbulence

"Turbulence is inevitable, but misery is optional. Make turbulence work for you."

"If you say your people are important, you better mean it."

Former CEO Southwest Airlines @ the USNA Leadership Conference

Many civilian CEO’s do not talk this way. Of course, when the profit you produce is the most important thing and the stockholders do not think much about anything other than that, the job can be both turbulent and miserable. I think Capitalism is great but one has to be creative and then follow up on those thoughts, as this CEO points out.

Very Respectfully
