Surfaced from the key world of Submarines, this e book is a information to efficient management improvement and resolution making by way of inclusion. With excessive stress, steady change and demise simply outdoors the hatch, agile, resilient management is crucial. This e book incorporates particular, actionable instruments and recommendation instantly from our coaching and consulting work through the years that has produced distinctive outcomes. This management e book is grounded in a patent revealed mannequin so once we say it’s fully distinctive, it actually is.
There are lots of management books written from the point of view of Navy Admirals, Marine and Military Generals, and Commanding Officers of all varieties. I’ve learn a lot of them and love just a few. This e book isn’t written from that viewpoint. My management was solid by way of the eyes of a profession enlisted. Approached and inspired, beginning my second 12 months of Naval service on submarines, to “do higher and turn into an officer.” I selected time and time once more to stay an enlisted service member.
My view out the periscope is that of a frontrunner who realized the unparalleled management influence of a robust senior enlisted, what many within the non-public sector would confer with as a mid-level to director stage supervisor. Each group is a pyramid, just a few individuals on the prime, the bulk at or close to the entry, to lower-level positions. The distinctive utility of management by way of the laser lens of a Command Grasp Chief is that this; solely a Command Grasp Chief has full relatability to essentially the most junior individual within the group and can even get a brief discover nose to nose with the Admiral. Once I was within the submarine pressure, very early on, I knew I used to be not motivated by energy. I additionally knew I used to be massive considering with massive considering methods. I wanted to construct expertise in areas of expertise, and I wanted to have the authority to hold these concepts out.
I’ve constructed my coaching and consulting firm round this view and the idea within the affect and important significance of those leaders. I now seek the advice of and coach executives from Fortune ’50s and lead discussions with entry-level group leaders. The instruments and perspective from my periscope, are fully distinctive, based mostly on this expertise, in addition to my time with Gallup as a advisor. I revered Gallup through the years as a Sailor from the surface, by no means imagining I might be on the within as a advisor, turning into their prime, consumer rated advisor on this planet. The mixture of this strength-based view, the System discovered on submarines, the methodology, and course of (patent pending) will turn into staples within the seabags of executives and first-time supervisors alike. Why? Properly, I do not simply bear in mind what it’s like to scrub a rest room, I nonetheless do every now and then.

I truly enjoyed Up Periscope. My lack of military experience did not hinder my understanding and appreciation of John’s insights about the importance of teamwork, team development, leadership and accountability. John’s stories and examples demonstrated the importance of diversity, equity and inclusivity and how they can be successful leveraged to make a difference in an individual, a team, a project or a business.

Leadership is so important, it requires continuous and never ending learning. This book give the reader insight from a navel officer’s perspective. The United State’s military is second to none when it comes to leadership development and this book gives civilian leaders an opportunity for comparison that can be very helpful in personal development. This is a must read!
