As we attend to professional development, we should be educating the entire
workforce on the value of planning, careful execution, performance metrics—all of
the things that relate to maintaining standards and promoting sustainability for or-
ganizations of tremendous scale and a large scope of responsibilities. That said, I
can’t predict the future. Perhaps those who take our places will find some substitute
for strategy, or maybe the Internet-of-Things will allow everything to become automatically self-correcting like a self-driving car. I don’t see that coming, or coming
very soon, though. Remember, we exist because we support people in harm’s way
and because the people capable of doing that harm—active, creative, and rarely perfectly predictable—are very cunning and inventive. It takes people to understand
people.
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.
