Timeless principles of empowering leadership.” – USA Today \"The best how-to manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training, and driving flawless execution.” —FORTUNE 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 Santa Fe , 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 Santa Fe : poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet. 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. That’s when Marquet flipped the leadership model on its head and pushed for leadership at every level. Turn the Ship Around! reveals how the Santa Fe 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. 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.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781591846406","publication_date":"20130516","publisher":"Penguin Publishing Group","slug":"turn-the-ship-around","subtitle":"A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders","title":"Turn the Ship Around!"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"BUS041000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Management","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS071000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Leadership","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS097000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Workplace Culture","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}],"hint":[],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BUS041000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Management","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS071000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Leadership","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BUS097000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Workplace Culture","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Management","score":1,"slug":"management"},{"label":"Leadership","score":1,"slug":"leadership"},{"label":"Workplace Culture","score":1,"slug":"workplace-culture"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Management","Good for readers interested in personal development","Good for fans of Leadership"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Patrick M.
