Alliance Day opening Keynote

It's Your Ship--Achieving Breakthrough Performance:

• Took command of Navy’s near-worst performing ship; twelve months later it was best ship in the fleet – using the same crew.
• Culture is everything. You can’t order excellence – learn to swap command and control for commitment and cohesion.
• Inspires people to rethink how they lead: don’t focus on what’s out of your control; focus on the things you can influence.
• Self-imposed limitations are the greatest enemy of improving performance. Learn new paths to breakthrough performance.
• Everyone engaged: unleash the power of your organization. When the crew presented a problem, Mike’s signature response was “What would YOU do? It’s YOUR ship!”
