Turn the Ship Around!
A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders
L. David Marquet
Learn how to transform your workplace into a culture of leadership with "Turn the Ship Around!" In this true story, author L. David Marquet shares his experience as captain of a nuclear-powered submarine with a poor morale, low performance, and high turnover rate. Instead of leading like any other captain, Marquet implemented a radical approach of giving control instead of taking control. The result? Each member of his crew became a leader, leading to a complete transformation of the Santa Fe and winning multiple awards. Apply Marquet's guidelines to your own business or position and create a workplace where everyone is a leader, contributing their full intellectual capacity every day.

The other book is called Turn the Ship Around! which is a wonderful book about a naval, not Commander, but Admiral or something that was running one of the worst performing U.S. nuclear submarines and turned it around to be the best performing U.S. submarine by infusing his staff with basically saying they’re not waiting for a command, they’re saying what they intend to do. It ties into many of the same topics, but it’s very actionable and very approachable. – source2012-07-17T10:28:01.000Z
I don’t read many business books, but last year I read one that had a profound effect on me: “Turn The Ship Around” by L. David Marquet. I guess it’s not really a business book, which is probably why I liked it. – source
