NATCA is honored and excited as the former U.S. Navy commander, New York Times best-selling author, and leadership and teamwork expert Michael Abrashoff takes the stage at #NATCACFS 2022. At 36, Abrashoff was selected to be Commander of USS Benfold and was the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific fleet. The challenges of this underachieving destroyer were staggering, with low morale and the highest turnover rate in the Navy, but 12 months later it was ranked No. 1 in performance — with the same crew. By replacing command and control leadership with commitment and cohesion, Abrashoff made the lesson clear: Leadership matters and culture is everything.
