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!
His advice for more effective leadership passed the O-1/KISS Test.[Keep It Simple Stupid] . . . 1 - Always listen to your senior petty officers.
2 - TRUST your crew to perform their assigned tasks. 3 - Eliminate "hassles" for crew whenever possible!
My operational experience generated these guidelines: 4 - Avoid recycling prior "lessons learned"
5 - Be PREPARED for unexpected contingencies!
6 - Become a Master Chief Hassle Eliminator (MCHE)
