Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance and the worst retention in the fleet.
One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realised he was leading in a culture of followers and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things.
Marquet took matters into his own hands and pushed for leadership at every level. Before long, his crew became fully engaged and the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet.
No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet's approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier - and everyone is a leader.
Critic reviews
"David Marquet is the kind of leader who comes around only once in a generation...his ideas and lessons are invaluable." (Simon Sinek, author of Start with Why)

Clear, simple and inspiring
Having listened to David Marquet at a leadership seminar, and having researched some of the ideas of Leader-Leader, I chose to listen to the book. I’m very happy I did. Very clear, easy to understand and full of ideas to really help empower and then enfranchise a team. Highly recommended.

Wow - very engaging and a new paradigm for me
The detailed leadership examples given from David's own experience are riveting and insightful.
The leader->leader paradigm was an aha moment for me and this book has sparked to many ideas of what I would like to apply in my organisation.
I found David delivery of the audible book very good.

The 7 step changes to self empowerment!
Loved the book. It was well written and had a compelling story. The story tied well the exercises that are needed to transform any company from leader-follower to leader-leader model.

Very thought-provoking ideas for Command.
Far better than Gen Mattis' "Learning to Lead" this is a genuinely innovative look at command management.
