Summary: Excellent book on Leadership
Comment: Considering that I read at least 30 books a year alone on Leadership, it is nice to read one that is not only packed full of great ideas but also a pleasure to read. The author lived this story, unlike some who write from their ivory towers, and makes you feel you too can accomplish great things when you apply these simple, yet effective, tactics to your organization or team. Along with "Execution" by Bossidy, this is one of the better Leadership books out there. Also check out "Lincoln on Leadership" by Phillips for history and more great ideas.

Summary: How to run a ship in the new U.S. Navy.
Comment: This book was not read for pleasure. My boss stated I had to read it, because his boss thought it was a necessary read. After reading it, I have to agree that this book is a good leadership model for those people who manage people. Even for such a structured organization as the U.S. Navy, the author proves that working with your people helps the organization attain success. However, Abrashoff is just restating what corporations and other organizations learned in the 1980s. A proven way to satisfy your customers is to work as a team toward your organization's goals.
This is a great read. The author should be complimented about changing how his organization functioned on his destroyer. As I stated, this was only unique in the setting in which it took place. Most corporations have used for some time these principles Abrashoff talks about. That is why it is a little annoying to read all those I did this, I did that sentences in the book. Abrashoff worked in a team, of which he was the leader and the principles were well established. Abrashoff only implemented them in a military setting, rather than in a corporation.
The book is chalk full of stories about Abrashoff changing how sailors functioned on the Benford. It is a good read to reinforce managers stuck on doing things the same old way. It is also an enjoyable read.

Summary: Realworld examples that help define real Leadership
Comment: This an excellent book. Exceptionally written. Micheal Abrashoff provides real world examples that help define real leadership. Often times people try to line out what leadership is and fail. through his intriguing stories and comments we can get a better understanding of leadership through trials error in the real world.
captivating from the very first page. Being a person who is planning on joining the Navy,it has inspired to take pride in what I do and do my best to make the people around to the same. A MUST READ.
