Too Long; Didn't Read
After graduating from U.S. Naval Academy in 1981, Captain David Marquet spent a year studying <em>USS Olympia </em>— every pipe, switch, filter, etc. It was the submarine he was supposed to be in charge of. As a prospective commander, he realized that he wanted to be the person with more knowledge about the submarine than anybody else onboard. Though, he was later put in charge of <em>USS Santa Fe </em>—which was then ranked last in retention and operational standing. His rigor to learn helped him quickly catch-up with the new submarine. Along with his unique style of <em>intent-based</em> leadership, he and his crew went on to become the highest ranked crew in U.S Naval history.
