At thirty-six years old, Mike Abrashoff was the most junior officer in the Pacific Fleet when he took command of the near-worst performing ship. Twelve months later, using the same crew,  USS Benfold was the best ship in the entire Navy. His story is legendary.

Captain Mike Abrashoff is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. Prior to commanding USS Benfold, Mike served as the Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense William J. Perry. He has  authored  four books. His first,  "It’s Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy," sold more than 1.4 million copies. 

This inspiring Episode is for every individual and organization looking for practical and usable ways to take performance to new heights. In Mike’s case, he realized that before the ship’s performance could change, he had to change his leadership style.
