Synopsis
Hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface, the world's most elite military units are patrolling the seas, operating nuclear reactors, and deterring threats before they surface. This is the life of a Submariner! The success of the US Navy's Submarine Fleet is rooted in principles of accountability, responsibility, and camaraderie. Thousands of miles from land and hidden from sight with hundreds of pounds of seawater above you, there is no room for error. Submariners are a different breed - slightly crazy, completely unfiltered, yet entirely focused. They carry out top secret missions in complete silence, speaking their own language and operating in such intense environments and under extreme conditions as to make the average civilian gape in amazement.It is in these conditions where All Hands are required to operate seamlessly and cohesively - relying on each other as much as they rely on physics and machines! Each member of the "Silent Service", as it is called, undergoes intense training and qualification and emerges from the sea unscathed except for bruised knuckles and an altered ego. All Hands on Deck is a humorous and straightforward account of how adopting the mindset and principles of a US Navy Nuclear submariner inside your business will skyrocket your results, streamline your operations, and create a business that will last!
