Trained to give orders in the traditional model of \"know all-tell all\" leadership, he faced a new wrinkle when he was shifted to the \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe\u003c\/i\u003e, a nuclear-powered submarine. Facing the high-stress environment of a sub where there's little margin for error, he was determined to reverse the trends he found on the \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe\u003c\/i\u003e poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarquet ran into trouble when he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. When he asked why, the answer was: \"Because you told me to.\" Marquet realized that while he had been trained for a different submarine, his crew had been trained to do what they were told--a deadly combination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat's when Marquet flipped the leadership model on its head and pushed for leadership at every level. \u003ci\u003eTurn the Ship Around!\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the \u003ci\u003eSanta Fe \u003c\/i\u003eskyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet by challenging the U.S. Navy's traditional leader-follower approach.
