 Scott Waddle-
Commander Scott Waddle USN (Retired)
North Carolina
At the age of 38, Scott Waddle was selected to become the Commanding Officer of USS Greeneville (SSN 772) an improved Los Angeles Class Fast Attack submarine in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. He was selected from a highly competitive field of specially trained and exceptionally skilled naval officers. The challenges Commander Waddle faced were staggering with extremely low morale and unacceptably high turnover.
Few thought that this ship could improve, but Commander Waddle only became more resolved. The solution was a system of beliefs that Commander Waddle calls "Deck Plate Leadership" - a process of replacing command and control with commitment and cohesion, by engaging the hearts, mind and loyalties of workers - a belief that Scott achieves with conviction and humility.
By every measure, these principles were able to achieve breakthrough results. Personnel turnover decreased to an unprecedented three percent. The rate of military promotions tripled and operating expenses were slashed by 25 percent. The USS Greeneville became regarded as the finest boat in the Pacific Fleet.
