10. Power of Positive (cont)
The future success of our Navy depends directly
on how we execute and educate in the area of
leadership and how we display this in our
character on and off duty. Our Sailors will
replicate what they see in us as leaders as they
are watching what we say and more importantly
what we do 24/7/365.
Sons walk – its what they see.

11. PASSION WITH COMPASSION
Exercise positive leadership by showing our Sailors
how they are valued. Always display a passion
for what you do as a leader by educating others
on positive leadership traits. Develop in our
Sailors today what they will need in the future
for success. Exercise and show compassion
when a shipmate is in need of assistance. This
is the time they need their leader the most.
How you support your Sailor during the hard
times will develop trust and loyalty. Invest time
in our Sailors and ensure you know them so that
they feel confident that they can reach out to
you. Exercise loyalty and professionalism at all
times, on and off duty. Our Sailors are always
watching their leaders, on and off duty.

12. #3 PRIDE PROJECTION
• Read books on our heritage and then
discuss this with our Sailors. Let them see
that you are proud of our heritage and
they will emulate. They are evaluating
your professionalism, character, and sense
of heritage 24 hours a day. Never forget,
our Sailors want to be like you. Are you
satisfied that you are the type of leader
you want our Sailors to be like?......

13. #4 EMPOWERMENT
• Our Sailors seek the approval of you as
their leader. It is very important to
provide each Sailor with the opportunity to
lead. As you show confidence in them, you
are growing a very valuable tool; our
future leaders.
• As they see that you are developing their
confidence they will develop the
professionalism and loyalty towards you as
trust and confidence are developed in both
directions. Always remember, our Sailors
are watching you…….

14. #5 PROJECTING A POSITIVE
ATTITUDE
• Always be proud of who you are and
ensure your Sailors see this. On bad days
seek out your peers or a mentor to discuss
problems.
• Maintain both your physical and mental
health so that your Sailors see the power
of your positive attitude. Positive is
infectious and so is negative if you are
projecting it.

15. Projecting a Positive Attitude (cont)
• Be supportive and encouraging of our
Sailors through active communication.
Ensure you spend time praising them in
public and counsel them in private. As you
respect your Sailors, they will develop
respect and admiration for you as their
leadership. Always remember they want to
be like you.

16. # 6 SUCCESS EDUCATION
• Educating Sailors on areas of concern do not
always need to address negative situations.
• Use success stories to show them how they
can also achieve success.
• If we discuss the negative that may be all
they understand, but if we want them to
emulate a behavior you have to show them
success to emulate. Whether professional or
personal situations, they need to see the
good not the bad.
• Which do you want our Sailors to
emulate?......
How do you train your Sailors for success?

17. # 7 UNDERSTANDING INFLUENCE
• As you grow the future leaders of our Navy, ensure you are
also developing our future Commanding Officers that are
currently in the wardroom. Discuss POP Leadership with
them and understand the need to exhibit followership
leadership.
• Help our junior officers to understand their impact on our
Sailors through their own leadership style and the need to
keep it positive as the leader of your division, department,
or command.
• Invest today in our young Officers and you are establishing
the future relationships that they will have with our future
Chiefs. Your actions today can have a huge influence on the
future.
How do you shape the importance of your program for leadership?

18. UNDERSTANDING INFLUENCE (Cont)
• Also, remember, you expect your Sailors to
exercise followership leadership, are you
exhibiting this with your seniors? Our
Sailors will develop trust traits with you as
you show them how to develop this with
your own leadership…..
