By Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Steven S. Giordano

Building trust, developing leaders, and driving high performance teams are never ending tasks. For the enlisted force, “Laying the Keel – Developing the Backbone of Our Navy” sets the structure and continuous learning conditions towards those ends.

In anything we do, we must always have a vision first. Laying the Keel is the blueprint of that vision for Enlisted Leader Development. This was developed by Sailors for Sailors. This deliberate and comprehensive approach is a path to becoming more authentic, competent, and courageous leaders.

Laying the Keel sets our course towards a stronger culture of ownership, an environment of positive energy, and intrinsically motivated teams, driving towards maximum level of performance with one goal in mind – winning.
