3.  The Board selected these officers to ensure the Navy has the right senior 
officers to employ, generate, and design our Fleet for combat operations, 
recognizing that the continued preeminence of the Navy is inextricably linked 
to our ability to successfully change.  To do so, the Navy needs innovative 
and bold leaders who think creatively and critically are their own toughest 
critic, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated risks that maximize 
effectiveness. 
 
4.  The Board looked for officers with sustained, superior performance in O5 
and O6 command who demonstrated key attributes such as:  taking ownership 
while working collaboratively, looking at new ideas with an open mind, 
generating a culture of continuous learning, and showing absolute readiness 
to unleash the power of our people in leading men and women coming from 
widely varying backgrounds. 
 
5.  The convening orders and precepts for both boards may be found on the
