Innovation in the Navy is hard. Rickover offers an example that is upsetting to some, but damn effective. Who is the “Rickover of autonomous systems” or the “Rickover of AI” in the Navy today?
The Admiral who only operated in " Founder mode" ... Nixon put it well, during the ceremony that gave this weeks Heretic & Hero, Hyman Rickover, his fourth star: “This man, who is controversial, this man, who comes up with unorthodox ideas, did not become submerged by the bureaucracy, because once genius is submerged by bureaucracy, a nation is doomed to mediocrity.” Rickover mastered the bureaucracy and made it his own. His creations mastered the deep. He was a General Officer for ~30 years. Protected by Congress. Which like many Heretics & Heroes he needed since Zumwalt thought the Navy had three enemies: the USSR, the USAF, ... and Rickover. https://lnkd.in/gspkQdx8

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. If you’ve ever served in the military, especially in the infantry, you’ve heard this. But this lesson reaches far beyond the battlefield. It’s not about how fast you get something done. If you’re constantly going back to fix mistakes, you’re not fast or efficient. And if correcting mistakes becomes a regular habit? That’s inefficiency at its core. In the long run, precision and focus beat speed every time. Efficiency comes from doing it right the first time. #EfficiencyMatters #LeadershipLessons #AttentionToDetail #SlowIsSmooth #PrecisionOverSpeed

#TalentManagementTuesday Janowitz. One of my favorite scholars who studied the AVF. In Janowitz’s book, “A Professional Soldier,” it was forecasted military and civilian professions would merge. In this 1975 paper, Janowitz investigates the military moving away from society by establishing “boundaries.” The question becomes, “How does one bridge the gap?” Is there a gap? What Janowitz reveals is there is a growing similarity yet difference between society and military. #Military #defense #strategy #people #security https://lnkd.in/ernZRJN4

There are two pillars in nation building. One pillar is men and the second pillar is women. When both pillars are strongly placed then the structure of the country is most stable.
In 1918, the U.S. Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France as telephone operators to help win the Great War. They swore Army oaths, wore uniforms, held rank, and were subject to military justice. By war’s end, they had connected over 26 million calls and were recognized by General John J. Pershing for their service.
