- insensible 2y agoYou’d probably enjoy the book Turn the Ship Around about a Navy submarine captain who transformed a low-performing crew into a strong, cohesive, autonomous crew.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoCompany I worked for gave us all a copy of the book and made us go to a 3-hour presentation by the guy. I was not impressed!

- newsclues 2y agoHis style of leadership was what a good captain should be. Kind, caring, patient with everyone but also personally set and expected a higher standard. Mistakes were opportunities to learn, and you never felt belittled. He was the kind of person that was the first to show up and the last to leave and knew every part of the business as if he had done it, and was busy but always had time for people and knew there names. He was a leader not a manager or supervisor, a trait I’ve found common among military people. He took cleanliness and safety seriously from the navy and applied that to the store, the store staff vacuumed and cleaned the store as it was his and we took pride in it from top to bottom and he lead workplace safety efforts very early on. He ran the store like a family, and he shined his boots every morning.
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoThinking back to one manager I had that everyone loved for similar reasons, and I remember now that he had a military background. I never thought then that it might be connected.
- jpm_sd 2y agoSounds like the depiction of Gus Fring as manager of Los Pollos Hermanos.
- newsclues 2y agoI think that is high praise.
- tr_user 2y agolike a family is normally not praise
