I agree with LCDR Bill Hamblet's 7-Sep-2001 observation about "Being a Naval Officer" . . .
>> The most inspiring part of the job is *leading* the many incredible enlisted people and junior officers.
I have watched so many of them *thrive* and accomplish amazing things with just a little direction, encouragement, and guidance.<<
Leadership traits result in empowering and inspiring others when the situation is seasoned with "attitude, aptitude and abilities"
plus a dash of UNODIR (Unless Otherwise Directed) . . .
I got my *most memorable leadership lesson* from a Master Chief Hospital Corpsman (MCHC)
while I was an Ensign in transit via a USAF MAC flight to join USS Cimarron (AO-22) at Subic Bay, PI (in April, 1967)
Over an ice-cold San Miguel beer at off-base quarters near Clarke AFB,
this savvy MCHC convinced me RHIP (Rank Has Its Privileges) hampers leadership!
1 - Always listen to your senior petty officers.
2 - TRUST your crew to perform their assigned tasks.
3 - Eliminate "hassles" for crew whenever possible!
4 - Adapt or recycle prior "lessons learned"
5 - Be PREPARED for unexpected contingencies!
6 - Become a Master Chief Hassle Eliminator (MCHE)
On November 19, 2009, a single circuit board inside a computer router in Salt Lake City failed. The glitch cascaded, preventing air traffic control computers nationwide from communicating. Hundreds of flights were canceled. On May 6, 2010, the Dow Jones industrial average inexplicably plummeted almost 1,000 points in minutes, only to mysteriously rise before the day ended. Had the “flash crash” not reversed itself, a global financial meltdown would have ensued.
We humans have linked our destinies with our machines. Our technology has gotten so complex that we no longer can understand it or fully control it. We have entered the Age of Entanglement.
