Features: The protagonists of this book—Andrew Rowen, General Grant, mailman Fred, and the crew of the "Benjamin"—are enduringly revered because of their boundless loyalty to their work, their tenacity and courage in the face of difficulties, and their unwavering execution of tasks that others deemed impossible. They "have no excuses." Modern enterprises seeking growth need talent that "has no excuses"—those who complete their work unconditionally, without excuses, even in the face of adversity, rather than those who talk big, are cynical, constantly complain, make excuses, nitpick, lack self-reflection, and are self-important.
Do well, Grant: This is a story about General Grant. The U.S. president for two terms and a hero of the Civil War, General Grant, shares his legendary experiences to teach employees of governments, businesses, and other organizations worldwide how to creatively accomplish their tasks.
Mailman Fred: Through the story of a mailman adding value to his service, it illustrates that everyone can make a difference. It makes us realize that providing value to others is not just a responsibility but also an opportunity: an opportunity to realize self-worth and find joy.
This is my ship: "This is my ship!" It has long been more than just a slogan for the "Benjamin" vessel—it has become the motto of all members of the U.S. Navy. At the same time, it has evolved into a management concept for modern enterprises: Treat your company like a ship. Let everyone strive to be an outstanding crew member, work together to manage the company, and steer it toward success.
