Testimonials
Captain Alec Fraser possesses the sort of leadership skills that are crucial in the business world. During his tenure at Turner Broadcasting, it was Fraser’s strong ability to lead that garnered him great respect from his colleagues and earned my confidence. It is my belief that serving as a Captain in the U.S. Navy helped to instill in him a real sense of responsibility and discipline, both of which were essential in playing a vital role in his success as a senior advisor in our company.
Having known Captain Alec Fraser for decades, and having served under him at sea, I am happy to attest to the quality and character of his leadership style. He is an inspirational leader in both the Navy and civilian sectors, and I have used what I learned from Al Fraser many times over the course of my own career. An engaging and entertaining speaker, he has lessons of leadership that should be at the top of any organization’s approach!
A former ship captain and Turner Broadcasting executive shows how four leadership principles in the midst of a raging sea battle are much the same as the leadership principles in a competitive business environment. If you want to know what it takes to be a successful leader, have a successful career, or make a business highly successful, read this book.
Alec Fraser‘s messages are educational, authoritative, concise, and clever. Just what you would expect from a former US Navy officer. For audiences, it is time well spent.

I’ll vouch for your extraordinarily wonderful and energized speaking style. I looked forward to Rotary Mondays under your leadership primarily because I wanted to see and hear what you had up your sleeve, and I always looked forward to hearing you speak–totally engaging, informative, and appropriately challenging.
Experience is by far the best teacher for most of us. Alec Fraser shares valuable lessons on leadership based on his experiences as a Captain in the US Navy and later as President of Turner Properties. His stories provide helpful insight and practical advice on how to be an effective leader.
Each semester Capt. Fraser provides a guest lecture on Leadership to my students in Principles of Management at Georgia Tech. He provides real-world examples of success and failure of leadership from current events and his own naval combat experiences. We end each class with hands still raised in the air to ask questions, and afterwards the students report that they greatly value the emphasis on integrity and accountability.
