Overview

Saltwater Leadership, Second Edition is about leadership in the maritime environment. The unforgiving, dynamic, and unconquerable nature of the sea requires direct leadership, often with very little margin of error. The unique and common nature of professional life on the sea applies not only to junior naval leaders but also officer and enlisted leaders from the Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines. Based on decades of leadership experiences, Saltwater Leadership covers a wide variety of topics, including basic junior officer leadership, taking care of people, providing forceful backup, leadership and culture, and professional competence.

Our nation needs that. --President George H. W. Bush, LT JG, USNR Saltwater Leadership is a small book with lots of wisdom.... Indeed the book's anecdotes give another insight into U.S. Navy. The authors should be commended for the efforts they have put into this fine book. --Australian Naval Institute
