I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following (Unabridged‪)‬

When you’re a leader, you have the watch.  

Through seven deployments commanding sailors in the complex and dangerous world of nuclear submarine warfare, Jon Rennie experienced a deep form of leadership. On a sub, there is no escape. No “after work”. No home to commute to. You live and lead side-by-side with the crew, every day.

What Rennie didn’t realize was how much his time underwater prepared him to lead global industrial businesses and start-ups across multiple industries.  

Becoming a leader worth following begins - and ends - with people.  

With a special foreword by John Brubaker, author of Seeds of Success, Rennie lays out a case for becoming a people-centered leader. Leaders have the watch. They are not only accountable for the results of the organization, but they are also responsible for the people who work for them. Leadership is a people business. The actions of a leader will have a deep impact on the lives and careers of the people they are responsible for.

Great leaders know that employees who are respected, appreciated, and given the chance to grow will go the extra mile for your organization. This audiobook provides real-world leadership wisdom narrated from a practical perspective. If you want to be a more effective leader, this is the one book you should listen to this year.
