More DescriptionThe New YorkTimes business bestseller by Captain D. Michael Abrashoff reveals the management principles he used to shape the U.S.S. Benfold into a model of leadership. As captain of one of the U.S. Navy's most modern and lethal warships, D. Michael Abrashoff revolutionized how to handle such challenging problems as excessive costs, low morale, and constant turnover. With IT'SYOURSHIP, business managers will benefit from Abrashoff's guiding belief that focus should be on empowering employees 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.
