Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders
L. David Marquet · Book · Leadership
Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders recounts how a Navy submarine captain took command of the worst-performing sub in the fleet and turned it into the best, not by giving better orders, but by pushing decision-making authority down to every sailor on board. Marquet’s approach offers a model for leaders who want to build organizations full of engaged, capable decision-makers rather than passive order-takers.
