CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 141935Z DEC 22 MID200080592748U FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 083/22 MSGID/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/DEC// SUBJ/2022 SECNAV, CNO, AND CMC HOLIDAY SAFETY MESSAGE// RMKS/1. As 2022 comes to a close, we extend our greetings to our dedicated Sailors, Marines, Civilians, and their families valiantly serving around the globe. Additionally, we thank our current deployed members at sea and in harm's way. Your service, whether at home or abroad, allows all American families to enjoy the holiday season safely and securely. 2. Our world class Naval forces are hard-charging, proactive, critical- thinking people. Sometimes, in our drive for mission accomplishment, we get wrapped up in the mission and forget to take a step back, relax, and strengthen our relationships with our families, friends, and support networks. The holiday season provides the opportunity to do just that. We encourage everyone to unplug as you are able and make a point to spend time with your loved ones. Not only will it make you feel good now, but it will also build that social pillar of resiliency that is so important when times are tough. 3. We collectively work very hard all year to reduce the risk of mishaps in order to focus on the safety and well-being of our personnel. Unfortunately, we often see an increase in off-duty mishaps, to include motor vehicle accidents, due to increased travel and activity during this time of year. To combat this, we count on each of you to continue exercising sound judgement and prioritize safety during the holidays. That means wear your seatbelt, pay close attention to weather conditions, apply proper risk management, and use your training and common sense to do the right thing. Applying these tools and best practices will contribute to a successful and happy holiday season. 4. While this season is one of joy for many of us, for others, the holidays are fraught with hardship and emotion. Look around you and watch for those who might need a friend or a place to belong during the season. There are many people who require help during the holidays, and everyone can make a difference in their own unique way. We encourage you to stay connected with your friends and family this holiday season, and remind you to watch out for those who may struggle during this time of year. 5. Please, take time to relax this holiday season, recharge your batteries, build your resiliency, and be ever vigilant for the well-being of fellow Sailors, Marines, and Civilians. We look forward to another successful year in 2023! 6. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy, Admiral Michael M. Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations, and General David H. Berger, Commandant of the Marine Corps.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//
CNO’s Get Real Get Better Message/Video
Leaders,
Today, I am releasing a video to highlight our progress toward the Get Real Get Better rollout to Navy triads this fall, and to reinforce the importance of this upcoming training.
In January, I introduced the Get Real Get Better call to action to accelerate our warfighting advantage, in concert with a new Charge of Command.
Driven by the need to unlock the full potential of our Navy, Get Real Get Better (GRGB) brings consistency to the mindset practiced by our best Navy leaders today.
GRGB is the standard for how we expect commanders to lead and solve problems.
Over the past year, we infused GRGB into the senior levels of our Navy, establishing how every Flag Officer and member of the Senior Executive Service should lead at every level.
We’re ready now to share these expectations with our front-line commanders, the COs, XOs, Senior Enlisted Leaders and Civilian Directors who are the cornerstone of our naval power today.
Below is a link to a video message to Navy leaders, targeting our command triads from Echelon I to Echelon V. The video introduces the Get Real Get Better leadership standard that we expect every Navy leader to adopt: act transparently, focus on what matters most, and build learning teams.
Forward this e-mail down to your subordinate commanders, all the way to Echelon V, to start a conversation about what it means to be a Navy leader in Strategic Competition, and how we as a Service must change.
In your regular meetings with your subordinate commanders, I encourage you to watch this video together. The video’s message is powerful, and commander-to-commander conversations amplify it.
Our Fall rollout will center on commander-to-commander conversations as the key to bringing alive the GRGB leadership standard in a way that our leaders fully understand, and to make clear your expectations.
Through the next year, we’ll focus on the long overdue personnel and education reforms needed to develop and reward leaders not only for the outcomes they achieve, but also for the cultures and teams they build by embracing the GRGB leadership standard.
My strategy for cultural renovation begins with us, the Flag Officers and SES who lead our subordinate Commanders and Sailors.
Let’s commit to this mission together.
VR Mike
