It’s Your Ship

Guest Speaker: Captain D. Michael Abrashoff

The story of how the U.S.S. Benfold was transformed into the best ship in the Navy rekindles audiences with enthusiasm to make a difference at work. More than that, people take away real tools they can put to use right away. Since the readiness of a ship is a matter of life and death in conflict situations, every crew member’s contribution matters.

Mike Abrashoff’s It’s Your Ship philosophy empowered his crew to take charge and use ingenuity and initiative to improve every aspect of the way things were done – all in the interest of improving efficiency and readiness. As Mike Abrashoff talks about creating successful change within the confines of a military operation, people begin to see the possibilities for transforming their own organizations.
