ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders by L. David Marquet recounts the journey of a new captain taking command of a U.S. Navy nuclear-powered submarine plagued by low morale and poor performance. Faced with a crew accustomed to a traditional top-down leadership structure, the captain decides to implement a radical approach. Instead of simply giving orders, he focuses on devolving control and fostering a culture where every crew member takes initiative and responsibility. The narrative explores the challenges and specific mechanisms used to transform passive followers into active leaders, fundamentally shifting the way the submarine operates.
