Chaplain, you should know that leadership by fear breeds resentment. Leadership by motivation brings respect.;-)

Doc

Amen to that, Doc. I had a First Sergeant that I would have followed to Hell if he’d asked me to - he led by motivation. We had a Major that tried to lead by fear, and we had a party when they forced him to retire.

So, what kind of leadership leads to smoking in unauthorized spaces?

The Navy should try to avoid that kind, since it tends to start fires.

Hey, Doc, are you picking on the chaplain?!!

Actually, leadership that works is what counts. If they keep the smokers from violating policy via respect, then more power to them. If by means of fear, then they’re in a long line of military leaders who’ve found that fear worked for them.

Wonder what’d happen if they relieved commanders because of rosy richard rates after port calls?
