The story of Captain D. Michael Abrashoff and his command of USS
Benfold has become legendary inside and outside the Navy. Now
Abrashoff offers this fascinating tale of top-down change for
anyone trying to navigate today's uncertain business seas. When
Captain Abrashoff took over as commander of USS Benfold, a ship
armed with every cutting-edge system available, it was like a
business that had all the latest technology but only some of the
productivity. Knowing that responsibility for improving performance
rested with him, he realized he had to improve his own leadership
skills before he could improve his ship. Within months he created a
crew of confident and inspired problem-solvers eager to take the
initiative and take responsibility for their actions. The slogan on
board became "It's your ship," and Benfold was soon recognized far
and wide as a model of naval efficiency. How did Abrashoff do it?
Against the backdrop of today's United States Navy-Benfold was a
key player in our Persian Gulf fleet-Abrashoff shares his secrets
of successful management including:
See the ship through the eyes of the crew: By soliciting a sailor's
suggestions, Abrashoff drastically reduced tedious chores that
provided little additional value. Communicate, communicate,
communicate: The more Abrashoff communicated the plan, the better
the crew's performance. His crew would eventually call him
"Megaphone Mike," since they heard from him so often. Create
discipline by focusing on purpose: Discipline skyrocketed when
Abrashoff's crew believed that what they were doing was important.
Listen aggressively: After learning that many sailors wanted to use
the GI Bill, Abrashoff brought a test official aboard the ship-and
held the SATs forty miles off the Iraqi coast. From achieving
amazing cost savings to winning the highest gunnery score in the
Pacific Fleet, Captain Abrashoff's extraordinary campaign sent
shock waves through the U.S. Navy. It can help you change the
course of your ship, no matter where your business battles are
fought.
