How leaders should navigate the seas of innovation
summary
Starts with D‑Day at 06:35 AM June 6, 1944 as a lived example and moves to concrete leadership rules: delegate and empower subordinates, own failures, deflect credit, and prioritize the enterprise over self. Cites Grace Murray Hopper and the ENIAC as lineage of technology and learning, gives hard numbers — an aircraft carrier with 5,000 people and 75 aircraft, 15‑month commands, officers descending 17 stories to meet crews — and argues culture, trust, and accountability are the operational tools that make organizations survive.
