Turn the Ship Around!

About this book

Turn the Ship Around! recounts L. David Marquet's command of the Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine he took over with weak morale, weak performance and the fleet's worst retention rate. The book then follows how Marquet pushed for leadership at every level and handed control to the crew, after which the Santa Fe rose from worst to first in its fleet. Readers are invited to apply the same methods to their own organisation, whether the correction it needs is large or small.
