It's Our Ship

The No-Nonsense Guide to Leadership

By: D. Michael Abrashoff

Narrated by: D. Michael Abrashoff

Captain D. Michael Abrashoff, legendary commander of the USS Benfold, continues in the same vein of his bestselling book It's Your Ship with the knowledge he's gained from his speaking to and advising some of the top business minds in the world.

The story of Captain Abrashoff and his command of USS Benfold has become legendary inside and outside the Navy. By governing his ship with his unique management techniques, Abrashoff turned the Benfold into a model of naval efficiency, with amazing cost savings, the highest gunnery score in the Pacific Fleet, and a highly motivated and top performing crew.

In It's Your Ship, he first demonstrated how to bring his successful management techniques from the ship to the boardroom. Now, in his newest book It's Your Ship, in the same rugged, can-do voice, Abrashoff will focus on the leadership, motivational, and management insights and tips that he has learned from his last six years of addressing business and corporate audiences.

Abrashoff's timely advice will be eminently prescriptive, and will feature anecdotes and insights from leaders of businesses large and small and from public and non-profit sectors.©2008 D. Michael Abrashoff; (P)2008 Hachette Audio

Quality principles. Great stories and examples.

True Leadership

I read both of these books and loved them both. I served in the Marine Corps, and I have been a leader in the business world and I found so many parallels in the leadership style presented by this author.

Amazing!

This book is phenomenal!!! Great for anyone in retail thats a leader! I LOVE IT!

good if independent from it's your ship but..

too similar and mostly a recap of it's your ship. other wise a good summary.

Wow! Can’t wait to share this!

A great book on leadership that I will use at work, home, church and the social groups I am a member/leader. I like how he incorporates the leadership principles in the stories and examples he ‘s experienced. I enjoyed it as a memoir in hearing about his life as a naval officer and the people he met and work with during that career.
