Publisher's summary

A deployed nuclear submarine operates alone - hundreds of miles from any support and hundreds of feet below the surface.

An emotionless and indifferent enemy constantly surrounds the crew. Thousands of pounds of sea pressure sit right over their heads, waiting to crush them like a tin can and send them to the bottom of the ocean. Even the most junior sailor’s mistake can result in loss of the submarine and everyone on it.

To accomplish their mission and return safely home to their families, a submarine crew relies entirely on the actions of their fellow sailors. There is shared responsibility as well as shared vulnerability. Regardless of rank or experience, every sailor is vitally important.

When Jon Rennie reported to the USS Tennessee as a young junior officer, he had no idea what to expect. He didn’t realize he was heading out on a four-year adventure that would change his life and establish leadership principles that he would rely on for decades.

On a submarine crew, officers and sailors work together in cramped spaces and challenging conditions to accomplish complex missions with no room for failure. As Rennie moved into leadership positions in the business world, he found that the basic underlying principles for success at sea also led to high-performing teams on land.

Leaders succeed when they create a unified team with a singular mission - when all employees perform like they are all in the same boat.

True stories from a real leader

I met Jon on a phone call and noticed on LinkedIn that he was an author. Figured I’d give his book a try and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Submarines are a pressure cooker of stress, drills, and camaraderie. It was amazing to hear Job’s tale as he leads you through this world and applies the knowledge to the manufacturing world afterwards. He displays a deep appreciation for people and teamwork, and he’s not afraid to share stories where life led him into very difficult situations. If you ever want to build a strong team or survive a strike - I encourage you to check out his stories. Cheers!

IMPRESSIVE CONTENT

I enjoyed the structure, parallels between business, being a Navy Submariner and how the content naturally flowed as both careers progressed. I have seen that disgusting cup of coffee a few times in my 30 year career. This book reaffirmed my top skills and to push through the journey. I take great pride in what I do. The world and economic cycles may change but being a lifelong student and caring about the individuals on your team to keep progressing forward will consistently deliver positive outcomes. Thank you for the book and the service to our great country. T.
