When a U.S. Navy ship captain is promoted to admiral, he suddenly finds himself in a position that requires him to negotiate, collaborate, administer and lead. To prepare its leaders for that transition, the Navy developed FLAG University, a multiyear program designed to offer officers the chance to acquire skills, competencies and personal feedback. Instead of hiring a team to monitor operations, the Navy chose to manage the program virtually. The FLAG University Web site manages the Senior Leader Learning Plan, handles the self-assessment process, serves as a facility for feedback and lets executives select courses.
