Über diesen Titel

Against the Tide is a leadership book that illustrates how Adm. Hyman Rickover made a unique impact on American and Navy culture.

Dave Oliver is the first former nuclear submarine commander who sailed for the venerable admiral to write about Rickover's management techniques. Oliver draws upon a wealth of untold stories to show how one man changed American and Navy culture while altering the course of history.

The driving force behind America's nuclear submarine navy, Rickover revolutionized naval warfare while concurrently proving to be a wellspring of innovation that drove American technology in the latter half of the 20th-century. As a testament to his success, Rickover's single-minded focus on safety protected both American citizens and sailors from nuclear contamination, a record that is in stark contrast to the dozens of nuclear reactor accidents suffered by the Russians.

While Rickover has been the subject of a number of biographies, little has been written about his unique management practices that changed the culture of a 200-year-old institution and affected the outcome of the Cold War.

This book is an absolute MUST for every person interested in the dawn of US nuclear submarines. It not only gives a comprehensive account of major events but also teaches valuable management lessons. It is definitely NOT the typical management book where all is chewed for you and neatly presented so you can just copy andpaste  its content. Yes, it gives insightful management-lessons, but also poses questions and challenges the listeners own attitudes, views and perception of the environment.  I guess one could say the benefit of this book is trifold: You learn about the dawn of US nuclear Submarines and about Admiral Rickover, You are taught some very poignant and valuable lessons and you are challenged to evaluate your own attitude and position and then apply these lessons to your own situation. Conclusively I can only say: Todays world would be a very different one and far better off, if more people would follow the management-style of Admiral Rickover.

Interesting – Insightful – Worth every second
