Just finished It’s Your Ship, and can’t recommend it highly enough! I haven’t read a book in a while that spoke to what I might call a “personal philosophy”, but this is about as close as it gets. Love the focus on feedback, fun, and treating people like responsible adults.

Leadership principles outline in the book:

• Take command
• Learn real leadership
• Lead by example
• Listen aggressively
• Communicate purpose and meaning
• Create a climate of trust
• Look for results, not salutes
• Take calculated risks
• Go beyond standard procedure
• Build up your people
• Generate unity
• Improve your people’s quality of life
