Non Sibi Sed Patriae - not for self, but for country.

In this episode, we’ll explore the removal of Captain Brett Crozier, United States Navy, from command of the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Captain Crozier was the Commanding Officer of the United States nuclear aircraft carrier, Theodore Roosevelt. Following an outbreak of COVID-19 onboard the Roosevelt a series of significant leadership events transpired. Crozier followed procedure and communicated the events onboard the Roosevelt to his Chain of Command. He put his crew and his ship before his personal self-interest. The leadership message displayed by Crozier is clear: Non Sibi Sed Patriae - not for self, but for country.

The politicization of military leadership, and the politicization of a Commanding Officer’s judgment and decision making, critical leadership core competencies for any leader, are brought to light. Dr. John Bedker, a former Naval Officer and Commanding Officer, brings his unique experience and insight to this analysis of leadership.
