TURN THE SHIP AROUND

L. David Marquet

A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders

A new model for leadership from a former Navy captain who transformed his submarine.

Imagine a workplace where everyone is totally engaged and contributing their full intellectual capacity; where people are healthier and happier because they have more control over their work. That’s what David Marquet achieved as captain of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear submarine dogged by poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet. He took his ship from worst to first in its class by challenging the Navy’s traditional leader-follower approach. Instead, he implemented a new framework he calls “leader-leader,” resisting his impulse to take control to create something vastly more powerful: an entire ship full of leaders. TURN THE SHIP AROUND offers powerful strategies to apply Marquet’s approach in any organization. L. David Marquet is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and led a distinguished career in the U.S. Navy’s submarine force. Under his command the USS Santa Fe won numerous awards and promoted a disproportionate number of officers and enlisted men, including nine future submarine captains. Since retiring from the Navy, Marquet speaks to businesses and other groups about effective leadership. He lives in Florida.

Introduction to Interview with Author L. David Marquet: It’s a very natural inclination to look to the military for inspiration.

It’s a fast and powerful read you’ll want to explore more than once. Stephen Covey wrote the forward, and one of the reviewers describes it as, “the ‘Hunt for Red October’ meets Harvard Business School,” and he’s right. Read more...

Marquet’s successful makeover of the Santa Fe from bottom to the top in the fleet reveals the determination it takes to be an officer and a gentleman… and an innovative leader. Read more...

What I learned from and with David Marquet is that developing a bottom-up, Leader-Leader culture produces highly empowered people and highly effective teams. It worked on a nuclear submarine and it worked in the mountains of Afghanistan. That said, cultivating a Leader-Leader culture is much easier said than done because you must overturn almost everything people grow up thinking and learning about leadership.

David Marquet's message in Turn the Ship Around! inspires the empowerment of engaged people and leadership at all levels. He encourages leaders to release energy, intellect, and passion in everyone around them. Turn the Ship Around! challenges the paradigm of the hierarchical organization by revealing the process to tear down pyramids, create a flat organization, and to develop leaders, not followers.
