Friday General Session—4:30pm open to all ”Turning the Ship Around”

David Marquet

Captain Marquet retired from the Navy in 2009 and is now the

author of Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers

Into Leaders. Fortune magazine called the book the “best how to

manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training, and driving

flawless execution.” Captain Marquet’s Intent-Based Leadership

model is turning around all types of organizations— from big manu-

facturers to start-ups and sport teams to government. He helps leaders build environments

where people contribute and feel valued —where everyone is a leader.

Captain Marquet began treating his crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not

taking control. It wasn’t long before operations took a dramatic turn. Santa Fe went from

“worst to first,” achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the Navy. When

Stephen R. Covey spent time aboard the Santa Fe, he referred to it as the most empowering

organization he’d ever seen. He wrote about Captain Marquet’s leadership practices in his

book, The 8th Habit. After Captain Marquet’s departure from the USS Santa Fe, it continued

to win awards and promote more officers and enlisted men to positions of increased responsi-

bility than any other submarine—including ten subsequent submarine captains.

Monday General Session….”A New World?” Alan Beaulieu ITR Economist

A New World?

Changes have occurred in Washington, and changes are occurring in

Europe, the UK, China, commodity prices, oil prices and in other

key sectors of the US and global economy. We will look at these

changes with an eye to what they will mean to the US economy and

to ABMA members. Attendees will know what to expect, and how

long the positive trends in the US economy are going to last.

There are good days ahead– the key will be to ready for them. We will talk about the

negatives in the world, but we will also discuss the positive economic realities, too. We

will be approaching the next recession, too, and we will need to take a look at that as well.

Attendees should leave with a solid, positive outlook for their future. Beaulieu will be

looking at the following:

The US elections are over – what should we expect?

What is happening in China, the UK and Europe – what does that mean for us?

What is happening with job growth and wages?

What is the status of manufacturing in the US?

What is the future of business-to-business activity?

What is happening with oil prices?

What are the key leading indicators telling us?

What is the outlook for some of our top markets?

What are the megatrends we will all have to contend with?

Will interest rates keep moving higher?

Will those forecasts directly impact your company?

Should you be concerned about the proposed increase in the minimum wage?

Which of ITR®’s Phase Management Objectives TM apply to your company at this

time in the business cycle?

ABMA would like to thank Cust-O-Bend, Group Simoneau & Honeywell

for sponsoring Meeting Room Wi-Fi!

Monday General Session….”A New World?” Ned Monroe Senior Vice President, External Relations

When we meet in January, we will know the results of the November

elections and days away from the Inauguration. Ned Monroe from

National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) will share his insights

on how these results will impact the political landscape, the economy

and the manufacturing sector. Ned leads NAM’s public affairs activ-

ities and overseas their grassroots engagement, issue advocacy and

election programs, attending the Republican and Democratic

National Conventions in 2016.

Ned Monroe is senior vice president of external relations for the National Association of

Manufacturers (NAM). Mr. Monroe oversees public affairs activities including grassroots en-

gagement, issue advocacy and election programs. His team also handles NAM’s allied organ-

ABMA GOLF TOURNAMENT Monday, January 16, 2017 12:30 pm/Shotgun The cost is $275.00 per person. (Spouses & guest are welcome to participate.)

Discover the most unique golf resort along the Florida Gulf Coast, where world-class facilities exist in perfect harmony with their natural surroundings. True stewards of the land, Hyatt Regency Coco-nut Point Resort & Spa, in partnership with WCI Communities, Inc., sought the expertise of golf leg-end Raymond Floyd to design 18 holes of golf that would make history as the first course in the world to receive Audubon International’s Gold Signature Sanctuary Certification. Each hole was carefully crafted to blend with the environment, leaving a beautiful course with natu-ral surroundings. Under the guidance of Audubon International, we have developed an ecological design that preserved the most valuable habitats on-site and restored nearly 25 acres of wetlands. With no residential sites on the property, the natural surroundings encourage the appearance of pro-tected wild creatures including the American Bald Eagle, Great Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets and even the very shy Whooping Crane. The tournament quality course features wide fairways with one height of cut throughout and five sets of tees to give players of every skill level a memorable outing. Experience Raptor Bay Golf Club - ranked among the top 10 favorites by Gary Van Sickle, senior writer for Sports Illustrated.
