Turn the Ship Around!

by L. David Marquet

Turn the Ship Around! tells the remarkable story of how Captain David Marquet transformed the USS Santa Fe from the worst-performing submarine in the fleet to the best—by giving up control. Marquet replaced the traditional leader-follower model with a leader-leader approach where every crew member thinks and acts like a leader. These skills teach you to push authority to where the information lives, replace permission-seeking with intent-based leadership, and build the competence and clarity that make empowerment actually work.
