Mike Abrashoff transforms organizational performance through leadership principles proven in the most challenging environments. As the youngest officer in the Pacific Fleet, he took command of the near-worst performing ship and turned USS Benfold into the Navy's best in just 12 months, with the same crew.
A New York Times bestselling author, Mike has written four books including "It's Your Ship," which has sold over 1.5 million copies. As founder of Aegis Performance Group, he partners with organizations to address leadership and performance challenges. His work has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, and Fast Company.
Mike's Leadership Roadmap replaces command-and-control with commitment and cohesion, empowering team members at every level. This approach delivers measurable results: on USS Benfold, turnover decreased to 1%, promotion rates tripled, and operating expenses dropped by 25%. Organizations implementing these principles experience similar transformations in engagement, innovation, and operational excellence.
Audiences leave Mike's presentations with practical strategies for creating environments where people feel valued and empowered. They learn how to see operations through their team members' eyes, build accountability without micromanagement, and drive continuous improvement through shared ownership of outcomes.
Book Mike Abrashoff to inspire your organization with battle-tested leadership principles that create sustainable cultural change and measurable performance improvement.
