D. Michael Abrashoff

D. Michael Abrashoff became, at the age of 36, a much-admired leader as captain of USS Benfold, a troubled ship that, in a short 18 months, he and his crew transformed into the best guided-missile destroyer in the world’s best navy. Publications from Fast Company to the Harvard Business Review heralded their achievement. Abrashoff himself told their story in a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling book, It’s Your Ship. Now a consultant to large corporations and popular speaker on leadership topics, he is the founding partner of Grassroots Leadership Solutions. Abrashoff, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, is also the author of It’s Our Ship and Get Your Ship Together.
