9781591146827: Against the Tide: Rickover's Leadership and the Rise of the Nuclear Navy

Synopsis

Against the Tide is a leadership book that illustrates how Adm. Hyman Rickover made a unique impact on American and Navy culture. The driving force behind the Navy's nuclear submarine fleet, Rickover revolutionized naval warfare while concurrently proving to be a wellspring of innovation that drove American technology in the latter half of the twentieth-century. Rear Adm. Dave Oliver, USN (Ret.) is the first former nuclear submarine commander who sailed for the venerable admiral to write about Rickover's management techniques. Oliver draws upon a wealth of untold stories to show how one man changed American and Navy culture while altering the course of history.

Notes on Culture

[Against the Tide] provides tips for reformers, applicable to every kind of organization. It is one of the best books about managing I have read. Rickovers most important gift to us: removing our largest excuse for inaction. Fabius Maximus
