It was the first book on leadership I read. What would Sam do?<br /><br />I tend to think I reflected that on my leadership page.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-63219457288349619082015-04-15T10:51:08.594-04:002015-04-15T10:51:08.594-04:00Once an Eagle

We have their names and all of them should be promptly retired "for the good of the service".<br />Yeah, I know how the Boards work. The look back is 5 years but the briefer should have circled this incident in red with flashing pixels and sound of thunder graphic in ppt when he briefed the board on this idiot.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-1609661913145420622015-04-14T10:33:02.595-04:002015-04-14T10:33:02.595-04:00Admiral's son--almost sneaked him in.
