Senior Chief Glenn Arrington

Senior Chief Glenn Arrington is known for his integrity, dedication and knowledge of the job and his concern for sailors. As one colleague summarized: "We struck up a conversation over some hot coffee. The topic turned to having faith in our sailors. Glenn told me something that I will always remember. He said, 'the key to developing people is to catch them doing something right.' What a powerful management concept! Unfortunately, at that time I had a genius for catching people doing things wrong. Glenn recommended that I spend at least several hours each week just wandering around the facility catching people doing things right. From that point on, I remembered to give praise immediately, make it specific, and encourage my sailors to keep up the good work." "Everyone looks up to him," said one supervisor. Setting high standards, having faith in sailors, confidence in their abilities and concern for their welfare - these are leadership characteristics that Senior Chief Glenn Arrington embodies.
