Leadership From Below looks at leadership through the experiences of twenty-two leaders from the US Navy and British Royal Navy. They represent all levels and types of submarine service from junior rates through Force Commanders, and their service spans the timeframe from 1954-2021. The paradoxical submarine environment (ships designed to sink) requires high-performing individuals and teams as a baseline requirement. The book includes descriptions of ten paradoxes effectively navigated by submarine leaders and transferrable to any organizational environment that, when effectively managed, become sources of competitive advantage.
