"The best how-to manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training, and driving flawless execution.” —FORTUNE
Marquet was a Naval Academy graduate and an experienced officer when selected for submarine command. Trained to give orders in the traditional model of “know all–tell all” leadership, he faced a new wrinkle when he was shifted to the Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine. Facing the high-stress environment of a sub where there’s little margin for error, he was determined to reverse the trends he found on the Santa Fe: poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet.
Marquet ran into trouble when he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. When he asked why, the answer was: “Because you told me to.” Marquet realized that while he had been trained for a different submarine, his crew had been trained to do what they were told—a deadly combination.
That’s when Marquet flipped the leadership model on its head and pushed for leadership at every level. Turn the Ship Around! reveals 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 to his subordinates, and creating leaders.
Whether you need a major change of course or just a tweak of the rudder, you can apply Marquet’s methods to turn your own ship around.

For me this was a highly surprising book. I read some references to it before, but was still impressed how the captain managed to establish his leader-leader idea in a structure so rigid as in military. One of my key takeways is the combination of classical empowerment and still the normal reporting of what and why. This reflects my current way of leadership, because I am normally avoid to make decisions on my own and just empower people to handle these situations their-self and still need to be able to tell what is going on. Highly suggested to read this, if you are interested in how this can be applied to a submarine crew.
I wasn't able to put that book away and read it in one session. The leadership model described here is what I think is one of the few ways to build sustainable organisations and communities. Interestingly the initiative had to come from one leader but ultimately led to many leaders that would sustain. I reckon, it takes courage to implement this leadership style especially in the military which gives hope, that it is actually possible to implement in other settings. All in all a very inspiring read. I hope you intend to read this to learn about a different style of leadership.
