An excellent read for those wishing to streamline efficiency and improve their leadership capabilities.By ValerieGreat read!At first I was like; mehhhhhh; because I had to read this book for a leadership class and any time i'm assigned to read something; I assume it's not going to be pleasant. Boy was I wrong!Captain Abrashoff has a lot to offer and teach in terms of leadership styles and techniques. He did an amazing job rehabilitating the crew of the USS Benfold through alternative leadership activities. I was having so much fun reading this book and getting ideas that I could apply at my place of work; that I finished it two weeks before I was required to. The anecdotes told by Captain Abrashoff are so very interesting and illustrate excellent examples of the techniques he is trying to teach.Thank you for your service Captain Abrashoff; and thank you for changing my leadership style!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. You will not be the same again.By Mark W Forquer MSG (ret)On the first day of my new job as a middle manager; my boss told me to get this book; read it; understand the "point" and make things happen within the company based on what I gleaned from this book. Long story short; I did and I was promoted . It's a no nonsense book on taking ownership of your "lane" ; changing the morale and letting the buck stop with you. I will never look at the world of work the same again. Buy this book !1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good book for leadersBy James M BellThis book was recommended to me by a neighboring fire chief who I asked to mentor me. I read it and liked it enough to purchase four more copies for the officers on my shift. This is a good book to reinforce best leadership practices. I have also purchased the audible version for myblong commutes. I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking to improve as a leader. I worked as a manager in the private sector prior to joining the fire service and thus applies to private sector as well.
