3.  The Board selected these leaders to ensure the Navy has the right senior 
officers to employ, generate, and design our Fleet for combat operations, 
recognizing that the continued preeminence of the Navy is inextricably linked 
to our ability to change by advancing our culture.  To do so, Navy's Flag 
Wardroom must model Get Real and Get Better, demonstrating a mindset of 
continuous improvement in how they build teams and deliver outcomes.  These 
leaders must be able to self-assess, self-correct, always learn, rapidly 
collaborate, and create opportunities to remove barriers to individual, team, 
and Navy warfighting excellence. 
 
4.  The board looked for officers with sustained, superior performance in O5 
and O6 command who demonstrated key attributes including: initiative, taking 
ownership, embracing new ideas with an open mind, relentlessly focusing on 
output metrics and forecasted performance, finding and embracing the red to 
drive improvement, rewarding transparency and well-calculated risk taking, 
generating a culture of continuous learning, and demonstrating a sustained 
ability to unleash the power of our people in leading men and women coming 
from widely varying backgrounds. 
 
5.  The convening orders and precepts for both boards may be found on the
