The Crazy Old Man
During my younger, more influential years, I developed under the ideals of several Master Chiefs, and CWO’s. We had several names floating around the unit like “Old Wooden Tooth”, “The Rooster”, “Booger”, “Chewy Lewy”. These names were not associated to good leaders, but just the opposite.

As a senior leader you should be self-aware, and be very conscious of how you act around others. People have beliefs and values that make each of us a little different. A good leader will remember this and find common ground with all of those that they lead.
2. Leading by example is placing yourself in others shoes. Whether it is jumping on deck and handling lines or picking up trash on the grounds of your unit. Show others how being the best at their jobs, and let them know that you were once at that level. Always let others know that with rank there is no loss of
