I bought Turn Around the Ship as a recommendation from a friend who had read the rave reviews. I bought the audio version the other day since listening on the go is easier for me these days….so far, great book.

Recommended if you want your workplace to be a place everyone around you is taking responsibility for their actions, where people are healthier and happier, where everyone is a leader.

It’s true story of how the Santa Fe submarine 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. 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 fully engaged, contributing their full intellectual capacity every day, and the Santa Fe started winning awards and promoting a highly disproportionate number of officers to submarine command.

Recommended. Best price I found for the book or audio version of the book here
