Speaker Biography:

Mike Abrashoff is NYT bestselling author and a leadership and teamwork expert. He is at the center of one of the most remarkable, modern day stories of organization transformation. At 36, he was selected to be the Commander of USS Benfold and was the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific fleet. The challenges of this underachieving destroyer were staggering with low morale and the highest turnover rate in the Navy. Few thought the ship could improve. Yet 12 months later it was ranked #1 in performance with the same crew. Mike did this by replacing command and control with commitment and cohesion. His lesson is clear: leadership matters and culture is everything.
