A TRUE STORY OF TURNING FOLLOWERS INTO LEADERS
L. DAVID MARQUET
u003cbu003e"One of the 12 best business books of all time.... Timeless principles of empowering leadership." - u003ciu003eUSA Todayu003cbru003e u003cbru003eu003c/iu003e"The best how-to manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training, and driving flawless execution." u003ciu003e--FORTUNEu003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbru003e Since u003ciu003eTurn the Ship Around!u003c/iu003e was published in 2013, hundreds of thousands of readers have been inspired by former Navy captain David Marquet's true story. Many have applied his insights to their own organizations, creating workplaces where everyone takes responsibility for his or her actions, where followers grow to become leaders, and where happier teams drive dramatically better results.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Marquet was a Naval Academy graduate and an experienced officer when selected for submarine command. Trained to give orders in the traditional model of "know all-tell all" leadership, he faced a new wrinkle when he was shifted to the u003ciu003eSanta Feu003c/iu003e, a nuclear-powered submarine. Facing the high-stress environment of a sub where there's little margin for error, he was determined to reverse the trends he found on the u003ciu003eSanta Feu003c/iu003e: poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Almost immediately, Marquet ran into trouble when he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. When he asked why, the answer was: "Because you told me to." Marquet realized that while he had been trained for a different submarine, his crew had been trained to do what they were told--a deadly combination.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e That's when Marquet flipped the leadership model on its head and pushed for leadership at every level. u003ciu003eTurn the Ship Around!u003c/iu003e reveals how the u003ciu003eSanta Feu003c/iu003e skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet by challenging the U.S. Navy's traditional leader-follower approach. Struggling against his own instincts to take control, he instead achieved the vastly more powerful model of giving control to his subordinates, and creating leaders.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Before long, each member of Marquet's crew became a leader and assumed responsibility for everything he did, from clerical tasks to crucial combat decisions. The crew became completely engaged, contributing their full intellectual capacity every day. The u003ciu003eSanta Feu003c/iu003e set records for performance, morale, and retention. And over the next decade, a highly disproportionate number of the officers of the u003ciu003eSanta Feu003c/iu003e were selected to become submarine commanders.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Whether you need a major change of course or just a tweak of the rudder, you can apply Marquet's methods to turn your own ship around.
