... about serving the mission AND your subordinates.

I wrote this in another thread about what it takes to be a good boss.

1. Make sure everybody knows what the goals are.
2. Make sure everybody knows what the constraints are.
3. Make sure everybody knows what their role is.
4. Turn 'em loose.
5. Take all the blame.
6. Give others all the credit.
7. Watch their backs.
