 Mike Stevens introduced his zeroing in on excellence initiative in September as a way to help the Navy maintain its readiness. Its three focus areas of developing leaders, good order and discipline and controlling what we own add to many of the guiding principles already in place such as the CNO's tenants. Zeroing in on excellence does not take away from or distract from already existing priorities. What it does is it allows all of us to focus together on a few things and become excellent in those areas. Stevens also had a message for his sailors across the fleet. What I'd like to say to all my sailors is three things. Remember, always work hard, stay out of trouble and be a good and decent person.
