Zusatztext "One of the top 12 business books of all time." --Motley Fool and USA Today, November 2014 "#1 Must-Read Business Book of 2012" -- Fortune Magazine "The best how-to manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training and driving flawless execution." -- Fortune Magazine "I don't know of a finer model of this kind of empowering leadership than Captain Marquet. And in the pages that follow you will find a model for your pathway." -- Stephen R. Covey , author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People "To say I'm a fan of David Marquet would be an understatement... I'm a fully fledged groupie. He is the kind of leader who comes around only once a generation. He is the kind of leader who doesn't just know how to lead, he knows how to build leaders. His ideas and lessons are invaluable to anyone who wants to build an organization that will outlive them. --  Simon Sinek , optimist and author of Start with Why "How do we release the intellect and initiative of each member of the organization toward a common purpose? Here's the answer: With fascinating storytelling and a deep understanding of what motivates and inspires. David Marquet provides leaders in the military, business, and education a powerful vehicle that will delight, provoke, and encourage them to act." --  Michael P. Peters , president of the St. John's College, Santa Fe "I owe a lot to Captain David Marquet ... not only for turning the Santa Fe around during some REALLY bad times but I learned many lessons on leadership from him that have been invaluable in my post-Navy life. I preach the three legs (control, competence, clarity) of Leader-Leader everyday to empower my people and move the decisions to where the information lives... I used these principles to turn around the GE Dallas Generator Repair Department, which was in crisis when I arrived in 2010 and now is the best Generator Repair Department in the GE Network... Now I am tasked with turning around the Dallas Steam Turbine Repair Department..." --  Adam McAnally , Steam Turbine Cell Leader at the GE Dallas Service Center and former crewmember, USS Santa Fe "This terrific read actually provides new and valuable insights into how to lead.
