Shiloh sailors voiced concerns about safety and readiness

Seems there was a serious Toxic leadership on that ship. I doubt the Navy will learn they had 3 surveys on the ship and each was worse than the one before. As the saying goes "The beatings will continue till moral improves." It should have been a sign Mando-fun at the cost of maintenance... I have never met a Sailor that would prefer to do Maintenance than go have fun, this should have been a epic flare unto its self. When people would prefer to do maintenance or work in their shops than join in any command function it shows a command that is failing. There is no team, no comradery, and will fail in a fight.

Every time we read about theses we always see the lynch pin, but that pin never seems to get pulled, I assume because it would be detrimental to that persons career. Instead of admitting they are toxic and pulling them out they will let others suffer till they can latterly move the individual at no cost to their promotions. Is this really how we are supposed to advance? What happened to the Best Person for the job? Why are we the Military allowing so much Politics in our advancements, boards and promotions.

Leadership is everything in the uniformed services. A toxic leadership damages morale and hence, readiness is degraded too. Subordinates find it tough to follow poisonous leaders and that harms the willingness to perform. Toxic Leadership has a ripple effect within the Command, I feel.

Opposite that, leaders with TLC and a passion for guidance, mentorship and coaching subordinates are very easy to understand and to follow. Subordinates love such assignments and perform at peak achieving great recognition, which is also the scorecard of that Leadership.
