Question of the Week:
What, do you.think are good qualities.
of leadership? : . ••
FOLKS, C., -CEL, USN: % believe that
paragraph 4 of Part 1 of General ;Order
#21 can answer that much better than I.
**By Naval Leadership is meant the art
of accomplishing the Navy’s mission
through people. It is the sum of those
qualitites of intellect, of human under
standing ■ and of moral character that
enable a man to inspire and to manage
a group of people succesSfully.-“Effect
^ ive Naval ' Leadership, therefore, is
based on personal example, good manage
ment practices, and moral responsibility
The term leadership as used in this
order shall include all three of these
elements.” These are, I believe the
answers to the question.
BQRNHEIMER, E., PN1, USN:v Mature, well,
balanced individual who knows his part
icular rating inside and out. Thorough
ly versed on all military tradition and
regulation. Above all have patience &
understandings ■ ' •
PAIAiVARA, J., ADI, USNs One of the
qualities of leadership is knowing your
men. Each .pan that served under you
has his own opinions,attitudes, desires
and fears,.
A good leader has a thorough under
standing of human nature and by making
go4od use of this knowledge is able to
handle any problem that nay arise.
INTSRRANTE, V., YN2, USNs A:: leader
must show his men by good example. He
must wear a correct uniform at all
times* His uniform must be immaculate
and his hair neatly trimmed at ail
times. He must be well informed, this
can be accomplished by talking to his
division officer a"s'‘often as possible
td keep up to date on Naval and Station
policies. He must be thoroughly famil
iar with all the aspects of work that
might be expected of him in his rating,
by haviig this knowledge he will be
.able,...to teach-sncl..leadL.hlg„Q-en._
