Hi, Daniel!

I'm highlighting something that the leadership was missing. They often used that messaging in the way you received it, and it is indeed profound.

What I'm pointing out is that the insincere among them would use that saying, but then would do things counter to it. Like ordering a subordinate to pencil whip a Readiness Inspection checklist, when they knew full well that a program was not being run in the spirit of the regulations.

Then, if one did the right thing, one faced consequences from the leadership. Maybe not direct punishment, but things like denial of leadership positions, promotions, or career development opportunities.

I encountered many who looked good on paper, and were detrimental to mission accomplishment.
