Leadership Alchemy is the ability to turn a poor performing team in to a high performing team, without changing the personnel. My guest today, Mike Abrashoff (http://www.glsworld.com/), is an expert on Leadership Alchemy and has written a best selling book on the subject called It’s My Ship. (http://www.amazon.com/My-Ship-U-S-S-Intrepid-Memoir/dp/0974691607/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1423348638&sr=1-1&keywords=It%E2%80%99s+My+Ship.)  Mike was the Captain of the USS Benfold, which he transformed from one of the worst performing ships in the US Pacific fleet to the #1 performing ship in just two years, which was unprecedented. We don’t always get the chance to change our team members; sometimes we just have to play the hand that we are dealt, and on today's show, you’re going to learn how.
