It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy
Author: D Michael Abrashoff
"The most important thing a captain can do is to see the ship from the eyes of the crew." This belief has successfully guided D. Michael Abrashoff, the captain of one of the U. S. Navy's most modern and lethal warships. Abrashoff has revolutionized how to handle such challenging problems as excessive costs, low morale, sexual harassment, and constant turn-over. Business managers will benefit from Abrashoff's guiding belief that focus should be on empowering your people rather than on chain of command. By shifting organizing principles from obedience to performance, managers will be rewarded with remarkable productivity. As Abrashoff explains, the more people enjoy the process, the better the results. Good leaders listen to the people under their command-and use their ideas to improve operating procedures.

Before leaving the U.S. Navy to become the CEO of Grassroots Leadership Inc., Captain Abrashoff commanded the USS Benfold, a ship armed with the latest technology available. To create a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers, he used the slogan "It's your ship" to motivate them to take responsibility for their actions and improve their performance. In It's Your Ship, Abrashoff describes how he used proactive communication and sailor input to make the USS Benfold a model of naval efficiency and a key player in the U.S. Persian Gulf fleet.
