It’s Your Ship by Captain D. Michael Abrashoff

This book was recommended by a mentor of mine: Atlanta Battalion Chief Hatcher. As a company officer at the time, this book served as a confirmation that out of the box thinking was a good thing. This book is very applicable to the fire service and a must read for company officers! This guy took the worst boat in the Navy and turned it to a sought after fighting machine. How he did it is VERY applicable to the fire service! If you feel that you are a lone ranger in a fight for what’s right; READ this book!

Recommended for Company Officers
