The Coast Guard Academy today graciously carved out some time from a leadership workshop to discuss how Rickover’s management principles fit into the five practices of Kouzes’ and Prosner’s “Leadership Challenge.” The discussion was two-way and lively.
Later in the afternoon, across a rainy Severn River, Captain Andrew Jarrett did the same thing for the Submarine Officer’s Advanced Course. Here we focused on the criticality of maintaining the culture of responsible safety that Rickover conceived and established — and that has possibly become his signature achievement.
