"Turn the Ship Around!" is an easy but incredibly inspiring read. The way Captain L. David Marquet describes the transition from a Leader-Follower to a Leader-Leader paradigm on board the USS Santa Fe seems simple but effective: »The steps were evolutionary. The result was revolutionary.«

Based on the three legs "control, competence and clarity", Marquet develops manyfold learnings and insights that are valuable to the US Navy leadership, and certainly beyond. Things that resonated strongly with me, among others, were questioning the usual connotation of "empowerment", introducing the idea of "acting and talking ourselves into a new way of thinking", the concept of "deliberate action", and what it really means to take care of your people.

A truly encouraging book.
