David Marquet is the type of leader you only encounter once in a generation... his ideas and lessons are invaluable.

Leadership lessons from a submarine captain to help you transform your way of working. Captain David Marquet was accustomed to giving orders. In the high-pressure environment of the submarine USS Santa Fe, it was crucial for his men to do their jobs well. However, the ship was plagued by low morale, poor performance, and the worst retention in its class.

One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realized he was leading in a follower culture, and everyone was at risk unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things.

Marquet took the situation into his own hands and promoted leadership at every level. Soon, his crew became fully engaged, and the Santa Fe shot from worst to best in class.

Regardless of your industry or position, by reading Marquet's business classic, you can learn how to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier—and everyone is a leader.
