Captain David Marquet is the author of Turn the Ship Around! His book is the story of how Captain Marquet began treating his crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not taking control.

After Captain Marquet’s departure from the USS Santa Fe, it continued to win awards and promote more officers and enlisted men to positions of increased responsibility than any other submarine—including ten subsequent submarine captains.
