Kathleen Hogan - Thanks for the post. Benchmarking Microsoft’s Growth Mindset journey added confidence that the Navy learning transformation was on a solid vector. Navy leaders recognize there is no finish line to this challenging journey and lead with these lessons to impact both outcomes and people’s underlying beliefs about how the Navy works, what is rewarded, and what is effective - the foundation of culture. Accelerating Navy’s performance advantage with transparency, collaborative problem-solving, focused barrier removal, and valuing learning as an outcome… ‘Lead, don’t manage’ in action.
I recently came across this Harvard Business Review piece from Bill Lescher, former U.S. Navy Vice Chief of Naval Operations, that explores how the U.S. Navy is fostering a culture of continuous learning. The piece is full of helpful takeaways, with my favorite being: Lead, Don’t Manage.

Such a good read! Another phrase to live by: Get Real, Get Better. The article talks about the importance of embracing the power of data in generating important insights of the real constraints inhibiting performance. It also explains further the importance of good and effective leadership in enabling the people to perform at their best, and be the self-managing individuals that they could possibly be; guided, encouraged, and led by their leaders, with these five (5) routinely asked questions during "learning and barrier removal-centered discussions": Where did we predict we would be now? Where are we actually? What did we learn from any gap between the two? What are the most consequential barriers to meeting the goal (and how do we know)? Who owns the decision rights on them? In result, as the author of the article stated, "over time, these conversations became psychologically safe as leaders kept the focus on collaborative problem-solving – what are the biggest barriers we face today, how do we know, and how do we solve them?". #data #leadership #culture

Retired Marine and former Corporate leader. I tell stories of my corporate life to help others better understand the true culture of large corporations.
Simple or Complex The Corporate vs Military Version Corporate America: Simple-One train arriving at the train station every hour Complex- Two trains arriving at the train station every hour. U.S. Military: Simple-arriving to work on time. Complex-Coordinating 4 platoons movements while simultaneously coordinating air power, artillery, mortars and replenishment. One of the big lies in corporate America is telling you that it's harder than it looks. It is not hard and it's not complex if you've had even a small amount of operational planning training. Not only is leadership not taught but neither is planning. Sadly, I've watched a dozen managers fail because they were unable to plan for two trains arriving at the same time. Every 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps is taught planning before they arrive to the fleet and attend numerous schools throughout their career. #veteranshelpingveterans #veterans #leadership #leaders #marines

Lessons on Leadership: Michael Abrashoff was in his mid-thirties when he took command of the USS Benfold, a guided missile destroyer and one of the worst-performing ships in the navy. Despite her potency, the “dysfunctional ship had a sullen crew that resented being there and could not wait to get out of the Navy.” By the time he left, less than three years later, Benfold had become the highest-performing ship and retention was amazing. And he did it all without changing a member of the crew. Most organizations create an ineffective system of rules and policies that attempt to prepare for every possible contingency. The thing about rules and policies is they become very hard to fix once they are put in place. Both the people who put them in place and those whose job it is to exercise them become highly motivated advocates of the policies. Even if the policies originally made sense, they become very hard to change as the environment changes. When you try to change something but can’t, you start becoming a tenant and stop being an owner. And ownership dramatically increases the odds of success.

“Must build generational readiness”. Rotations such as XCTC and NTC are going to build that generational readiness (training) in the Gator BDE.
During panels at last week's annual Association of the United States Army meeting, Lt. Gen. Jon A. Jensen, director of the Army National Guard, and Command Sgt. Maj. Raines, command sergeant major of the Army National Guard, emphasized the importance of modernization, partnerships and telling our story. #nationalguard #usarmy #leaders #leadership

Great post with actionable ideas and tools to do so...
I’m currently on the road (unlike last week, NOT on the bus from O’Hare to Recruit Training Command). This weekend I have the honor to serve as the Commissioning Officer for the Jacksonville University NROTC commissioning ceremony (pictures to follow of our newest United States Marine Corps and US Navy Officers). Last week was epic doing the same for our newest Sailors - an energizing experience, highly recommended. The photo below is from my daughter’s Jacksonville University NROTC commissioning a few years ago (now Lieutenant Junior Grade Czerewko). It’s her first salute from her younger sister (🥹) - who is now an Ensign and in Nuke Power School. #tellyourstories For those interested in supporting YOUR United States Navy in recruiting, educating, training and retaining the best America has to offer, there are a ton of resources to help tell the Navy story and provide insights as to what the US Navy has to offer anyone interested in operations #FromSeabedToSpace. These links describe what #ForgedByTheSea really means. 1) To refer someone interested in the Naval Service - https://www.Navy.com 2) For any Educators or Counselors or parents who want to learn more about military service - https://lnkd.in/ejbr5Fg6 3) To order complimentary copies of Futures magazine, which provides a closeup look into the lives of service members - https://lnkd.in/emxrXdTi 4) If you’d like to request Navy speakers to come talk to your organization and tell you about the Navy through the Navy’s Speakers Bureau – https://lnkd.in/eAEsa3mR 5) To share videos with your network, visit the “America’s Navy: Forged by the Sea” YouTube channel - https://lnkd.in/eRf8xRHx 6) Though this toolkit was aimed at last year’s 50th anniversary of the all-volunteer force, it has great information for professional organizations and how you might support military talent and recruiting, visit - https://lnkd.in/eH5MWhhm. 7) To find out more about the value of service in the Armed Forces - https://lnkd.in/ew2ENzWV 8) The Naval History and Heritage Command is a resource covering a wide range of topics and competencies in history, social studies, and the STEM fields - https://lnkd.in/eRtR-gKX Cathy Cole MyNavyHR Naval Education and Training Command U.S. Fleet Forces Command U.S. Pacific Fleet Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) Navy Recruiting Command U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command (RTC) RADM Jim Waters Rick Cheeseman

As a Fleet Seminar Student at the U.S. Naval War College, I learned how military theory and practice can be applied to non-operational defense business and even the corporate world. While I don't expect CEOs to become experts in Clausewitz, understanding the concept of avoiding analysis paralysis and the importance of Mission Command Leadership can greatly benefit an organization. If we embrace the idea of failing forward with the best information available at the time and avoid being too harsh with after action decision making, we can collectively improve faster and stronger together. Working in the #telco industry, I found LTC Brian Forester's analysis on signal to noise ratio to be very applicable. Commanders and staffs must think clearly about both signal and noise, and communicate the uncertainty associated with an estimated outcome to their commanders. It's important to resist the temptation to overcorrect when the observed outcome doesn't align with algorithm predictions. Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gJcsTTqz

⚓📘Mini- Review: Surf When You Can by Captain (Navy) Brett Crozier. I couldn’t put this book down! If you are in search of an engaging and insightful read about naval operations, especially concerning blue water maneuvers, “Surf When You Can” is an excellent choice. The author, a Senior Navy Officer, recounts his life journey from childhood to his final moments using the ship’s brow after successfully leading over 1,200 Sailors onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Despite his achievements, Navy Captain Crozier candidly acknowledges his shortcomings as a Commanding Officer, particularly in addressing the fallout from COVID-19, which ultimately cost him his job. In each chapter, he introduces various concepts to help readers understand his experiences and emphasizes how these can be applied as leadership skills. Additionally, he offers valuable insights for future fighter pilots. Stay tuned for my full review, but in the meantime, I highly recommend this book to those aspiring to become the Chief of the Naval Staff. 🦅
