D. Michael Abrashoff
Acerca de esta escucha
The story of Captain D. Michael Abrashoff and his command of USS Benfold has become legendary inside and outside the Navy. Now Abrashoff offers this fascinating tale of top-down change for anyone trying to navigate today's uncertain business seas. When Captain Abrashoff took over as commander of the 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.
Knowing that responsibility for improving performance rested with him, he realized he had to improve his own leadership skills before he could improve his ship. Within months he created a crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers eager to take the initiative and take responsibility for their actions. The slogan on board became "It's your ship," and Benfold was soon recognized far and wide as a model of naval efficiency. 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. His crew would eventually call him "Megaphone Mike", since they heard from him so often.
- Create discipline by focusing on purpose: Discipline skyrocketed when Abrashoff's crew believed that what they were doing was important.
- 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.
From achieving amazing cost savings to winning the highest gunnery score in the Pacific Fleet, Captain Abrashoff's extraordinary campaign sent shock waves through the U.S. Navy. It can help you change the course of your ship, no matter where your business battles are fought.

Only 10 days before Abraham Lincoln took the oath of office in 1861, the Confederate States of America seceded from the Union, taking all Federal agencies, forts, and arenas within their territory. To make matters worse, Lincoln, who was elected by a minority of the popular vote, was thought of by his own advisors as nothing more than a gawky second-rate country lawyer with no leadership experience. What Lincoln did to become our most honored and revered president is history; now his wisdom and leadership philosophy can help you run your business.

Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Historia
The firebombing of Tokyo. Strategic Air Command. John F. Kennedy. Dr. Strangelove. George Wallace. All of these have one man in common—General Curtis LeMay, who remains as enigmatic and controversial as he was in life. Until now. Warren Kozak traces the trajectory of America’s most infamous general, from his troubled background and heroic service in Europe to his firebombing of Tokyo, guardianship of the U.S. nuclear arsenal in the Cold War, frustrated career in government, and short-lived political run.

Historia
Sometime in 1965, James Hawes landed in the Congo with cash stuffed in his socks, morphine in his bag, and a basic understanding of his mission: recruit a mercenary navy and suppress the Soviet- and Chinese-backed rebels engaged in guerilla movements against a pro-Western government. He knew the United States must preserve deniability, so he would be abandoned in any life-threatening situation; he did not know that Che Guevara was attempting to export his revolution a few miles away. Cold War Navy SEAL gives unprecedented insight into a clandestine chapter in US history through the experiences of Hawes, a distinguished Navy frogman and later a CIA contractor. His journey began as an officer in the newly-formed SEAL Team 2, where Hawes commanded boats in the CIA's series of covert, hit-and-run raids into North Vietnam. Those raids directly instigated the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.

Whether serving under a Democratic president or a Republican president, whether in a war that was popular at home or not, Hugh Shelton gave all he had, and asked nothing less of the men and women who worked for him. Politically independent, Shelton told the truth - not what his superiors wanted to hear.

John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history.

Some recall him as the father of our country's most legendary fighter aircraft - the F-15 and F-16. Still, others think of Boyd as the most influential military theorist since Sun Tzu. They know only half the story.

This remarkable moment occurred after Crozier made the decision to try to protect his sailors by pleading with his superiors for help when COVID-19 swept through the vessel. Two days later, he was relieved of command.

They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.

Trust your crew to do their best
Whether commanding a ship or leading a company, the reasons that sailors or employees leave an organization are similar:
1. Not being treated with respect or dignity
2. Being prevented in making an impact
3. Not being listened to
4. Not being rewarded with more responsibilities
5. Low pay
The top four reasons are controllable by the leaders of the organization, which is what Captain Abrashoff set off to do. The book isn't the result of years of research and studying business operations. Captain Abrashoff worked with his crew to come up with ideas to make it the best damn ship in the Navy. Particularly admirable was that Captain Abrashoff gave his crew the responsibilities they were willing to take on and trusted they would do it well. Many leaders would be unwilling to give up what they perceive as their source of power - the ability to tell people how to do their jobs.

this book has so many good leadership tips that whenever I'm faced with a challenge I go back to it as a resource. I work for several different organizations public, private and volunteer in my life. The biggest Gap we seem to have right now is in the realm of leadership. anyone aspiring to be a leader should find this book most beneficial.

Very insightful
I would have liked to have served under Abrashoff on the Benfold. Well done Captain. Thank you for writing this. Lessons that can be used in any business for sure.

It Was My Ship and Now It's More My Ship
Would you listen to It's Your Ship again? Why?
Yes. I had countless flashbacks of my US Navy career while listening to this audio book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Radioman 1st Class who found a way to generate more bandwidth for the satellite communications for the various ships when they were in the Persian Gulf. They must have been using modems of very slow baud rates.
Which scene was your favorite?
The coordinated effort of Captain Abrashoff (at the time he may not have been that rank) in preparing for Secretary of Defense, the Honorable Dr. William J. Perry's multi-country series of meetings. The logistics for pulling together an effort of multiple US military branches and the military of other countries must have been mind boggling.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It's My Ship and I'll Cry if I Want To, Cry If I Want to... just kidding! I would keep it the same as the book "It's Your Ship". I would hope that this would make for a great movie. Maybe if it took the same approach as the book. To appeal to an audience of entrepreneurs. It may take a bit of thought to pull it off but I don't know if a movie was ever made with this type of approach. Using a movie to do the same as what you would want a book to do.
Any additional comments?
I very much appreciated and enjoyed the contrast and compare of what Abrashoff faced in the Navy and bringing it into perspective for to the reader, the entrepreneur to better understand. That is, pointers in how to deal with certain situations and conditions. Also, to make educated, calculated or how ever your want to call it type of risks. My military and entrepreneurial experience allowed me to thoroughly enjoy this book.

Great Leadership Guidance and Lessons
I was not drawn into this story at first, but was eventually taken in once the the main message of the book can into play. Great leadership guidance and lessons for leaders at all levels; your greatest resource for any organization needs to be given the tools and latitude to excel. Additionally, it is vital to know our audience...

One of the Best Damn Leadership Books
I listened to this book on a referral and absolutely loved it. I've read or listened to many leadership books and have found none as enjoyable as this one.
While far from comprehensive, it paints in broad strokes and provides excellent personal examples. The author is humble and speaks often of his change in leadership style. It feels like a shared journey.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for perspective on their leadership style.
