Turn the Ship Around!

A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders

Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance and the worst retention in the fleet.

One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realised he was leading in a culture of followers and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things.

Marquet took matters into his own hands and pushed for leadership at every level. Before long, his crew became fully engaged and the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet.

No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet's approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier - and everyone is a leader.

Leaders create leaders

I found that although he writes from a perspective 25 years ago that it is slowly coming into the leadership models and growth templates for modern militaries around the world. Intent based leadership allows decision making at junior levels and breeds greater leaders.

How empowerment can be effective in creating a better workplace and results

A brilliant way to start the leader-leader journey for our organisation and very inspirational to me
