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.

Can anyone really be THAT busy?
Avoid the leader who ALWAYS insists on the short answer to his/her questions.

It's an interesting question. I've noticed that it trips from the lips of people who have 15 chiefs, 33 1st Class Petty Officers and up to 8 division officers to delegate to who wonder why that department head, acting XO, Senior Watch Officer, OOD, and the ship's only TAO asks you to spare him the long version and just boil it down if you want his input. I mean, it was OK on watch but every second after that came out of duty and sleep and some of us only got 3 hours sleep/day in the war.

Thanks for that perspective.
