Mike AbrashoffPublications from Fast Company to the Harvard Business Review have called it one of the most remarkable examples of organizational transformation: Mike Abrashoff took command of the worst-performing Navy ship in the Pacifi c Fleet and made it No. 1 in 12 months – using the same crew. In many ways, the ship was an extreme example of the same problems facing many organizations today.

What drove the success was Abrashoff ’s realization that if things were going to improve, the fi rst thing that needed to change was his own leadership style. The result was an empowered culture and an engaged team who set new benchmarks for performance. Abrashoff challenges people to re-imagine their own leadership thinking and instill a renewed responsibility for results and success. Abrashoff ’s fi rst book, It’s Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy, remains a best seller with 850,000 copies currently in print.Closing Keynote: Wednesday, March 12, 8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.
