Many have applied his insights to their own organizations, creating workplaces where everyone takes responsibility for his or her actions, where followers grow to become leaders, and where happier teams drive dramatically better results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarquet 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 \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe\u003c\/i\u003e poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlmost immediately, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat's when Marquet flipped the leadership model on its head and pushed for leadership at every level. \u003ci\u003eTurn the Ship Around!\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe \u003c\/i\u003eskyrocketed 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore long, each member of Marquet's crew became a leader and assumed responsibility for everything he did, from clerical tasks to crucial combat decisions. The crew became completely engaged, contributing their full intellectual capacity every day. The \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe \u003c\/i\u003eset records for performance, morale, and retention. And over the next decade, a highly disproportionate number of the officers of the \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe\u003c\/i\u003e were selected to become submarine commanders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eL.
