About this product

Product Information

Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance and the worst retention in the fleet. One day, Marquet unkwingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realised he was leading in a culture of followers, and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things. Marquet took matters into his own hands and pushed for leadership at every level. Before long, his crew became fully engaged and the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet. No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet's radical guidelines to turn your own ship around. The payoff- a workplace where everyone around you is taking responsibility for their actions, where people are healthier and happier, where everyone is a leader. 'I don't kw of a finer model of this kind of empowering leadership than Captain Marquet.' Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Doesn't Live Up to Its Own and Others' Hype; Give it a Miss
It could have been that much better about the life of submariners and their battles with bureaucracy and shiny pants but it deteriorated into a repetitive management guru tome. As a submarine commanding officer myself I had expected (and it was hyped as such) one man's struggle with "we ways done it that way" and was going to change the Navy's mindset. In the end the book reads more like a printed version of a PowerPoint presentation on a management theory stated over and over. I just won't pass it onto any of my friends lest they think all navies and submariners act in such a way.

Engaging, practical and transferable guidance everyone can use at work.
You don't need to be a naval officer to benefit from the experience and practical efficiency frameworks provided here. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and used key ideas in my work in project and program management. One of my favourites was providing context to tasking. Too often we find ourselves tasked with producing a document or interrogating data for no apparent reason. Managers can operate at such high altitudes that to tell someone why they need to perform a task can be counter-productive in their minds. But when you provide context, just some simple yet informative details connecting the task to the big-picture mission, you create within that person a leadership mindset that gives them agency to act. There are great examples, it's written well and I found myself taking notes to use at work. Always a great sign. Highly recommended A+Read full review
