3.  These nominations will ensure the Navy is equipped with capable senior 
leaders to employ, generate, and design the Fleet for combat operations, 
recognizing that the continued preeminence of U.S. naval power is 
inextricably linked to the ability to successfully change by advancing our 
culture.  To do so, officers with proven sustained superior performance in 
command leadership positions in difficult and challenging assignments, 
including those in the diplomatic/foreign service arena were chosen. 
 
4.  The Board sought innovative and bold leaders who are ready to sustain the 
Get Real, Get Better movement by role-modeling GRGB leadership behaviors and 
problem solving.  These officers are their own toughest critic, think 
creatively, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated risks to maximize 
effectiveness. The Board selected those officers with superior leadership 
skills that may be further developed in a variety of assignments across the 
Navy without regard to community, platform, or career paths to serve as the 
future leaders of the Navy. 
 
5.  The convening orders and precepts for both boards may be found on the
