3.  The Board selected these leaders to ensure the Navy has the right senior 
reserve officers to support Fleet operations and design, train, develop, and 
lead Navy Reserve Forces, recognizing that the continued preeminence of the 
Navy is inextricably linked to our ability to successfully 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 professional skills, integrity, 
management acumen and resourcefulness in difficult and challenging leadership 
assignments, as well as personal and professional 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
