"Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn't it? If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong." – Ted Lasso

If you are reading this I’m sure that you have taken a job or received a promotion and when you first started you probably didn’t feel quite ready for it. You probably had the skills and knew what to do…but were lacking the experience where you felt really comfortable.

That is where David Marquet, author of Turn the Ship Around found himself. In this book he tells the story of being thrust into a leadership role he wasn’t prepared for and navigating his way out…he did this by unleashing his team, not being the brilliant leader with all of the answers. Using his model of Control, Competence, and Clarity his submarine showed what was possible with a real leader rather than a fanatical manager.

If you struggle with leading your team, with delegating…(HELLO! That hit home didn’t it?) and your team not quite living up to their potential this book is for you.
