#0265 – The Leadership of Admiral Rickover with Dr. Claude Berube

Author: Jon S. Rennie December 3, 2023 Duration: 44:31
Today, I’m joined by Dr. Claude Berube, and we're discussing the Leadership of Admiral Rickover. Claude wrote his doctoral dissertation on the Navy during Andrew Jackson’s presidency, which became the book On Wide Seas. He has worked on political campaigns, as an analyst and team leader at the Office of Naval Intelligence, as a national security fellow in the U.S. Senate, and as a defense contractor for Naval Sea Systems Command and the Office of Naval Research. He is concluding nearly 20 years of teaching at the U.S. Naval Academy. He retired as a Commander from the US Navy Reserves, where he was an intelligence officer. His third novel, The Philippine Pact, came out earlier this year, and his fifth non-fiction book, Rickover Uncensored, is now available. I’m excited to have him on the show to talk about the life and leadership of Admiral Rickover, a man who had a tremendous impact on the U.S. submarine force.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
