Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, and was a military assistant to the former secretary of defense, the Honorable Dr. . Perry. CAPTAIN D. You can visit his website at grassrootsleadership. William J. Abrashoff left the Navy in 2001 and became the founder and CEO of Grassroots Leadership, Inc., in Boston. MICHAEL ABRASHOFF is a graduate of the U.S
Listen aggressively: After learning that many sailors wanted to use the GI Bill, Abrashoff brought a test official aboard the ship-and held the SATs forty miles off the Iraqi coast. Create discipline by focusing on purpose: Discipline skyrocketed when Abrashoff's crew believed that what they were doing was important. The story of Captain D. When Captain Abrashoff took over as commander of USS Benfold, a ship armed with every cutting-edge system available, it was like a business that had all the latest technology but only some of the productivity. The slogan on board became "It's your ship," and Benfold was soon recognized far and wide as a model of naval efficiency. Within months he created a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers eager to take the initiative and take responsibility for their actions. How did Abrashoff do it? Against the backdrop of today's United States Navy-Benfold was a key player in our Persian Gulf fleet-Abrashoff shares his secrets of successful management including: See the ship through the eyes of the crew: By soliciting a sailor's suggestions, Abrashoff drastically reduced tedious chores that provided little additional value. Communicate, communicate, communicate: The more Abrashoff communicated the plan, the better the crew's performance. Now Abrashoff offers this f
--Howard Rothman. His suggestions: lead by example; listen aggressively; communicate purpose and meaning; create a climate of trust; look for results, not salutes; take calculated risks; go beyond standard procedure; build up your people; generate unity; and improve your people's quality of life. Other than the sobering fact that real lives are regularly at stake, running a navy ship is a lot like running a business: leaders of both must get the most out of their crews to operate at peak efficiency and complete the tasks at hand. Describing "the ideas and techniques that I used to win my sailors' trust and, eventually, their enthusiastic commitment to our joint goal of making our ship the best in the fleet," Abrashoff cites embarrassing failures along with subsequent triumphs to illuminate the keys to his accomplished 20-month tenure aboard the gui

"The information in the book is so good, relevant and easy to understand and apply" according to Snoog. My boss let me borrow his copy when I asked for a leadership resource and before I even finished chapter 1 I was on Amazon for my own. The information in the book is so good, relevant and easy to understand and apply, it not only my boss' favorite leadership book, its mine. I have told so many other people in my company and professional associations about it. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone looking to break into management, in man. WWS said Leadership messages with pauses for introspection. My supervisor recommended this book and I can see why. Excellent leadership suggestions helped me evaluate my leadership tendencies and identify opportunities. The end of each section provides a one statement summary of the preceding section and provides a natura pause to help readers reflect on the content and their own experiences.The messages apply for all organizational levels and I encourage others to read this book.
