An exerpt:
The Division Officer/Division Chief is the best team out there that the
Navy has: two people, about the same age, with vastly different
backgrounds, expectations, and experiences, leading a division of
Sailors. The core concept is that each person offsets the other’s
weaknesses. While the Chief has the experience to run the division, the
officer is going to translate the Commanding Officer’s intentions into
something actionable. The officer will bring in new ideas, but the
Chief will keep them grounded in reality. It’s a program that has
worked for decades.
