Publisher Description
'David Marquet is the kind of leader who comes around only once in a generation . . . his ideas and lessons are invaluable' Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why
Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the 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 unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realized he was leading in a culture of followers, so he upended the traditional leadership model and put control in the hands of his crew. Before long, his team 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 approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier, happier - and everyone is a leader.

Best book on leadership
This has to be the best book on leadership I’ve ever read and as a leadership coach and management trainer I’ve read a few!!
Not just giving you the principles of leader-leader, it also shows you real life examples written in a way that is easy to digest and understand.
Fantastic, a must read for anyone.
