Even though I'm a nobody where I work I've read several books on leadership. This is by far the best, Turn the Ship Around![^]. It tells the true story of how David Marquet took the USS Santa Fe from the lowest rated submarine in the U.S. fleet to the highest rated vessel in U.S. Naval history. And he did it by doing the opposite of what the U.S. Navy teaches their officers, and what most managers would never do, by giving up control. It talks about his frustrations, his disappointments, his failures, and successes. As one person put it, if the leader-leader model can work in the most stringent of organizations (U.S. Navy nuclear submarine fleet), if it can work at the GE Equipment Repair that was failing, it can work in any organization at any level.
