Since the release of Turn the Ship Around! in 2013, countless readers have drawn inspiration from the true story of former Navy captain David Marquet. Many have implemented his insights within their own organizations, fostering environments where individuals take ownership of their actions, where followers evolve into leaders, and where more content teams achieve significantly improved results.
Marquet, a graduate of the Naval Academy and a seasoned officer, was appointed to command a submarine. Trained in the conventional model of "know all–tell all" leadership, he encountered a new challenge when assigned to the Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine. Confronted with the high-pressure atmosphere of a submarine, where there is little room for mistakes, he was resolute in his intention to change the negative trends he observed on the Santa Fe: low morale, subpar performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet. Almost immediately, Marquet faced difficulties when he inadvertently issued an unfeasible order, which his crew attempted to follow nonetheless. Upon inquiring why they did so, he received the response: "Because you told me to." Marquet recognized that although he had been trained for a different submarine, his crew had been conditioned to obey orders—a perilous combination.
This realization prompted Marquet to overturn the traditional leadership model and advocate for leadership at every level. Turn the Ship Around! illustrates how the Santa Fe transformed from the worst to the best in the fleet by challenging the U.S. Navy’s conventional leader-follower paradigm. Battling against his own instincts to seize control, he ultimately embraced the far more effective approach of empowering his subordinates and cultivating leaders.
Before long, every member of Marquet’s crew had become a leader, taking responsibility for all their actions, from administrative duties to critical tasks.
The team became fully involved, utilizing their entire intellectual potential on a daily basis. The Santa Fe achieved remarkable records in performance, morale, and retention. Furthermore, throughout the subsequent decade, an exceptionally high proportion of the officers from the Santa Fe were chosen to become submarine commanders. Whether you require a significant change in direction or merely a slight adjustment of the rudder, you can implement Marquet’s techniques to steer your own vessel in a new direction.

Let's Get Real or Let's Not Play: The Demise of 20th Century Selling and the Advent of Helping Clients Succeed
Selling is recognized as the second oldest profession, frequently mistaken for the first. The concept of selling is laden with complexities. Over time, the practice of sales has often evolved into a relationship driven by fear. Customers harbor concerns that they may be "sold" something of little value, or that a salesperson might persuade them into decisions that do not contribute to their success. Conversely, salespeople are apprehensive about failing to secure a sale. If they experience a significant number of "lost" sales, they risk not meeting their quotas, which jeopardizes their personal success. In their pursuit to "close the deal," even some of the largest organizations, driven by quotas, have occasionally garnered a reputation for having salespeople who are elusive, uninformed, and arrogant. Consequently, buyers tend to distrust sellers. Due to this lack of trust, sellers are left to make assumptions, which often leads to incorrect conclusions. Buyers validate their skepticism and establish even greater obstacles. This cycle continues, resulting in neither the client nor the consultant achieving success. The principle of Helping Clients Succeed™ is essential for the prosperity of any business. This program instructs you to adopt a fully client-centric approach, dismantle the barriers of ineffective business development, and cultivate rewarding, productive business relationships. With integrity, transparency, and authenticity, Mahan Khalsa eliminates the superfluous and concentrates on delivering results and facilitating client success.
