Professional & Leadership Development: Book Review

It’s Your Ship
Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy
By Captain D. Michael Abrashoff

Ilya’s Review:

In the five years since this book has been published, many other business books have tried and failed to capture the true essence of leadership. Captain Abrashoff’s “It’s Your Ship” nails it perfectly for the ages and I strongly recommend this book for anyone at any stage of their career.

Abrashoff explores the finer points of leading and managing an organization while confronting rapid change. Furthermore he describes the highest point of all leadership: converting disinterested and average employees into Top Performers that consistently produce winning results. His strategies and approach are very powerful in today’s economy. Also, keep in mind these aren’t just words, he actually did it, Abrashoff shows the actions behind the message on how his team went from worst to first and then stayed at the top.

I found the book enjoyable to read and I appreciate the author’s willingness to share his personal growth over the course of his career. He candidly discussed overcoming some of his vulnerabilities and insecurities while becoming a top leader; its proof that top leaders should never stop learning about themselves and the team around them.

In addition Avotone Body Sculpting cream has been a result of a genetic trait that
has been shown clinically to increase microcirculation of the skin.

They claimed that this product could deliver thinner thighs in nine minutes and
reduce cellulite injections in the first half of 2011.
Cardiovascular exercise - These are directed to those parts of your body
that get affected by adiposis edematosa. Perform the same with your left leg, then bend your
left knee upward toward your waist.
