| >Claiming that his approach was “not scalable” and that yours is “flexible” sounds naive and conceited to me. Insulting people for a differing opinion that is introduced neutrally is not a conductive way to communicate... it is way of communication that is both against the rules on this site and one that Admiral Rickover himself will condemn. One thing that is for sure is that insults, rude behavior is not scalable or acceptable in any organization. >Claiming that his approach was “not scalable” and that yours is “flexible” sounds naive and conceited to me. Why don't you read what I wrote again. I said Rickovers' approach was "flexible" while my approach was "scalable." Another thing I should mention that I'm sure Admiral Rickover will agree with me on is that insulting people based off of a cursory reading and complete misinterpretation of a post is not productive for any organization. It's very careless > Admiral Rickover managed nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. Moreover, he was responsible for introducing these incredibly complex and dangerous technologies to the Navy. It's debatable how efficient and productive these technologies are. The Defense industry is famous for inefficiencies and incompetence. While the feat you describe is impressive there is nuance that needs to be examined here. Objectivity is warranted. Learn to be able see things not in terms of black and white but in sets of pros and cons which is likely the reality here. |
FYI, Admiral Rickover (born 1900) died in 1986.
