Are you tired of ad's that say, "College Degree or Experience Required"?

Navy Leadership

Do you feel you have leadership potential? Then you should be especially interested in the Navy.

You've most likely heard the expression, "Leaders are born, not made", or someone may have said, "That person is a born leader". There is no such thing as a born leader. Many people seem to be natural leaders because they have strong, magnetic personalities, or they may have a natural ability to learn rapidly. Those people are exceptions to the rule. Three elements make an effective Navy leader:

1. Developing Moral Principles

When we speak of moral principles, we think of honesty, integrity, and loyalty. The key to leadership is the emphasis placed on personal moral responsibility. When you continually prove you are honest and loyal, your shipmates and subordinates will notice.

2. Setting a Good Personal Example

You're not automatically respected as a leader just because you have the authority. You must learn to lead, not drive. By setting a good personal example you'll earn the respect and confidence of your peers and colleagues.

3. Developing Administrative Ability

The ability to administrate is not restricted to the maintenance of logs and records and other paperwork. Administrative ability is another term for good management practices. These include the ability to organize, manage and work well with people. Always remember that every person is an individual who wants to experience a feeling of worth and accomplishment. You should emphasize the individual's importance in getting the job done. And, if you think you have these abilities, we can assure you of many leadership opportunities, no matter which career field you go in. If you want to learn more about this, refer to the section 16 in this site ("Naval Academy, ROTC, and Paths to a Commission").

"We need men and women who by their personal integrity, their sense of moral purpose and their acceptance requirement for hard work will exemplify the best in the leadership traditions of the Navy and of our country"

--Admiral Arleigh A. Burke
