About John Gregory Vincent

The Department of Defense named our first book, Diversity and Inclusion The Submarine Way a 2023 top 10 for Strategic Thinking.Ever wondered how the world’s most advanced vessels, submarines, operate in the most stressful environments, 24/7? Surprisingly, they\'re largely run by 18-22-year-old high school graduates, embodying personal leadership and ownership at its finest. Add to this a complete turnover of the crew every three years with zero degradation of mission performance. These are the results produced by submarine leadership, This is the Submarine Way.I had the honor of dedicating 14 years of my Navy career aboard submarines, retiring after 20 years of service as a Command Master Chief. This unique experience taught me how to harness the incredible potential of these young sailors, leveraging submarine methodologies. Some might say we submariners are a tad eccentric, but there\'s no denying our unparalleled focus and productivity.Together with Deb Cake Fortin—whose expertise from leading $200M business units in Fortune 300 companies is indispensable—we\'ve merged our experiences to adapt this submarine-centric inclusive leadership model for organizations. The results? Enhanced engagement, collaboration, and innovation, propelling ROI.If you\'re intrigued by the workings of submarines or curious about how your organization can emulate their efficiency, let’s connect!At The Submarine Way, we combine mission focus with a touch of humor (mostly at my own expense) and a profound dedication to producing ROI. With Deb\'s strategic growth insight and my submarine leadership experience, further enriched by my time as Gallup\'s top client-rated consultant, our approach is truly unparalleled in the leadership space.Let\'s navigate your organization’s journey together.Book your time here: https://cal.frontapp.com/the-submarine-way-a-genesis-group-llc-company/thesubmarineway/2a2f479f
