Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, from worst in the fleet to first. Stephen R. Covey, author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” declared Marquet’s leadership concepts as “The 8th Habit.” “Turn The Ship Around!” resides on the professional reading lists of the Chief of Naval Operations and the Air Force Chief of Staff.
