Books Turn The Ship Around!  by Stephen R Covey Marquet David L (Author)

"Turn the Ship Around!" by L. David Marquet tells the true story of how Captain David Marquet transformed the USS Santa Fe, one of the worst-performing nuclear submarines in the U.S. Navy, into the best in its fleet. He accomplished this by replacing the traditional top-down "leader-follower" leadership model with a "leader-leader" model that empowers everyone on board to take ownership and make decisions.

The book details Marquet’s leadership journey and insights, such as:

Shifting control from the leader to competent team members, which fosters empowerment and responsibility.

Developing competence through continuous learning and deliberate practice.

Creating clarity of purpose and goals so all team members understand the mission.

Encouraging proactive communication using phrases like “I intend to…” rather than waiting for orders.

Removing fear by rewarding initiative and self-reporting of mistakes.
