Stockdale winners credit crews, offer leadership tips

The skippers who earned the Navy’s top leadership prize said their crews have equal claim to the Vice Adm. James Stockdale Award.

Absolutely. Leaders don't create followers. Leaders create other leaders! If you are willing to lead from the front, show you are willing to get dirty w/ the others, you will have more respect from your troops than if you simply demand it due to rank.

I take most leadership lessons with a grain of salt. I have seen leaders that talk an excellent game but they do not practice what they preach.
