Description

Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders by L. David Marquet. In a dramatic shift from traditional leadership, L. David Marquet transformed his submarine crew from a team of followers to a group of empowered leaders. When faced with a high-stress environment where margins for error were minimal, Marquet realized that his crew's willingness to follow orders, even if impossible, was a recipe for disaster. Marquet's innovative approach to leadership, which challenged the U.S. Navy's traditional model, paid off in a remarkable way. The Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, rose from the bottom of the fleet to become one of the best-performing vessels. This book reveals the key principles behind Marquet's success and provides a practical guide for anyone looking to turn their own organization around. By giving control to his subordinates and creating leaders, Marquet achieved a vastly more powerful model of leadership than traditional command-and-control approaches. This inspiring true story shows how one leader's vision and courage can transform an entire team and organization.
