As newly appointed captain  of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, he was responsible for  more than a hundred sailors, deep in the sea. In this high-stress environment,  where there is no margin for error, it was crucial his men did their job and did  it well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance, and the worst  retention in the fleet.Marquet acted like any other captain until, one  day, he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it  anyway. When he asked why the order wasn't challenged, the answer was \"Because  you told me to.\" Marquet realized he was leading in a culture of followers, and  they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did  things.That's when Marquet took matters into his own hands and pushed  for leadership at every level. Turn the Ship Around! is the true story of  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.Before long, each member of Marquet's  crew became a leader and assumed responsibility for everything he did, from  clerical tasks to crucial combat decisions. The crew became fully engaged,  contributing their full intellectual capacity every day, and the Santa Fe  started winning awards and promoting a highly disproportionate number of  officers to submarine command.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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57368286232950,"sku":"9781591846406","price":20.06,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_32278579.jpg?v=1772053145","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781591846406-turn-the-ship-around","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
