Sovereign Navy [H0L35]

u'Sovereign Navy is a PvP corporation with aims at returning to null sec. Our leadership is a close-knit team of experienced fleet commanders and competent veteran pilots. We favor small-gang skirmish warfare, and bring versatility and flexibility to every battlefield. Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable. - Gen. George S. Patton In Sovereign Navy we are educators first. While we have FCs with years of experience, we believe that wars are won by pilots who engage their brain before they engage their weapon. To this end, we have a leadership system that promotes training and educating pilots on everything from making ISK in Eve as a combat pilot, to successful bombing runs. Ultimately, we realize the game is played for fun, and so the majority of our training is on-the-fly, remedial, or fleet-based. We are not an academy - you won\'t find classrooms or pencils here - but our training format is based on practical application. If you\'re looking to start from the basics, hoping to refine your techniques, or just looking to fly with a solid group of pilots, you might be what we\'re looking for. The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. - Walter Lippmann Our leadership structure is hierarchical. We believe that the highest mark of a leader is in their ability to grow leadership in their subordinates. With that in mind, we have engendered a leadership structure with specific roles and duties, promoting high growth potential, and allowing many opportunities to gain that coveted experience commanding fleets. Our structure is designed to grow as we grow, so that more opportunities present themselves as we get bigger. Also, unlike many corporations, leadership in Sovereign Navy is a paying job, based on a percentage of our revenue. It pays to foster activity and ISK earnings in others. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. - Dale Carnegie Part of the roles of every tier of leadership in Sovereign Navy is to promote regular, scheduled opportunities for activity. Whether is is through roams, training/skirmishes, or inter-corporation tournaments, nothing in Eve is of more benefit to all than an active corporation. While we do regularly clear out inactives from our member list, we make exceptions for those who communicate with us. Real life will always come first.
