It's your Ship: Preparing Yourself For Future Success

About Michael Abrashoff:

Mike Abrashoff, former Navy

captain, was selected to be

Commander of USS Benfold, being

the most junior commanding officer in

the Pacific fleet. His destroyer was known to

be one of the worst in the fleet, plagued by poor

leadership, low morale, and the highest turnover

rate of all. Within 12 months Abrashoff managed to

change everything around making the USS Benfold the

#1 ranked ship in performance. How did he do it? Mike

focused on replacing command and control leadership with

commitment and cohesion. Ever since he has worked with

over 1,200 organizations in helping shape and recreate

their leadership initiatives, from universities to non-profits,

startups to Fortune 500s, hospitality to tech, and much

more. Mike outlines these experiences and many other

transformational leadership lessons he has gathered and

applied throughout the years in his speech as well as in his

books It’s Your Ship, It’s Our Ship and Get Your Ship Together;

hits that made him a NY Times Best Selling Author.
