The Navy is supposedly an autocratic organization. Yet both Rickover and Zumwalt were senior leaders who deliberately and forcefully instituted cultural change in the Navy. Rickover completely succeeded. Zumwalt made progress.17 Is it possible to compare and contrast the different methods that Admiral Zumwalt and Admiral Rickover used to institute cultural change? What methods were effective? Why? Why not? Could either admiral have benefited from one or more of the other’s techniques?

Admiral Rickover did not retire for another nine years after the incident with NR-2. By that time he was eighty-two. When he did retire, many of his admirers believed he had stayed beyond his best years.18 Should his political loss to Admiral Zumwalt over the (non)building of the research submarine have indicated to Rickover that it was time to seek a more physically vigorous man for the job of defending Navy nuclear safety? Do you think Rickover resisted this path simply because Zumwalt was one of his strongest critics? How do leaders recognize when their moment to depart is drawing nigh?
