In this episode of The Thinking Leader Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk to Captain David Marquet, a retired United States Navy captain and the bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around and Leadership is Language. Captain David Marquet imagines a workplace where everyone engages, contributes their full intellectual capacity, and where everyone is a leader. In this episode, the trio discuss what leadership is and how to lead effectively. As you will hear in the show, the current structure of leadership is overdue for a change. The system in place at the moment is a permission-based one where organizations reward the overachievers and feed their egos. The issue with this leadership style is that it relies on one person to make all the decisions. A way to fix this is to give everyone autonomy and action with intention, not permission. Intention-based leadership doesn't fall apart like a house of cards when the leader is not present.

We speak to Captain David Marquet best-selling author, creator of Intent-based leadership and former commander of nuclear-powered submarines for the US Navy. We talk about his career and how that shaped his views on leadership. We discuss his philosophy of intent-based leadership, his commitment to give control to and treat his team as leaders. This led the submarine he was in charge of to be recognised as “worst to first,” achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the navy. In ‘giving orders can get you in big trouble' we discuss: How commanding a nuclear submarine in the US navy taught our guest valuable lessons on leadership Giving orders is not always the best way to run teams Permission-based organisations are designed to prevent actions and bold ideas Empowering teams to show what they intend to do creates innovation and better results If you have to give orders, be clear about it Leadership is a language, be mindful of how you use it Tools, such as flashlights, can become a powerful metaphor for change About Phishy Business Fed up with the same old cybersecurity stories?

When a lifelong student of leadership, Captain David Marquet, took over the helm of the USS Sante Fe Nuclear Submarine, it was the worst-performing sub in the fleet. His decision to give intent versus give orders 'turned the ship around' taking it from worst to first and achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the US Navy. In my conversation today we unpack his leadership philosophy and insights on bringing out the best in others and ourselves.    More about David Marquet: Learn more about David  David's book - Turn the Ship Around Links and courses: Live Brave Women's Weekend Take my free Live Bravely video course

Before we can talk about how to lead a software development team, we have to talk about leadership as a discipline.  We'll look to George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Captain David Marquet, and General Stanley McChrystal for good examples of how to organize groups of people to achieve a goal in a rapidly changing landscape. We will then extend these examples into business and finally into information technology and engineering.  By the end of this episode, we will have talked about the value of decentralized command and how to lead a modern software development team to achieve goals and become high performing. ---- Our Sponsor: Electronic Specifier Insights Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/electronic-specifier-insights/id1508314202 ---- Additional Resources: David Marquet, Turn the Ship Around! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqmdLcyES_Q Team of Teams https://www.amazon.com/Team-Teams-Rules-Engagement-Complex/dp/1591847486 Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership Muster https://echelonfront.com/muster/

Nation! I am so excited to introduce you to the man who leads my weekly Mastermind group, Aaron Walker.  Aaron Walker has founded more than a dozen companies over the past 42 years. He attributes much of his success to having surrounded himself with his Mastermind counterparts. Aaron spent a decade meeting weekly with Dave Ramsey, Dan Miller, Ken Abraham, and other outstanding entrepreneurs. Aaron is the founder of Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind that now hosts 20 groups with National and International members. Aaron lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and he has so many wonderful stories and advice to share today!  As you know, I lead several Mastermind groups myself. A large reason I can pour into other leaders in the water treatment industry is because of the individuals I meet with weekly in the Mastermind group. Aaron says to think about a Mastermind as "Your own personal board of directors" who help you personally and professionally. Life is way too difficult to do it alone. We are built as human beings to work with other people. I've found that joining a Mastermind can help you grow through vulnerability, coaching, honesty, and camaraderie.   If you are a water treater interested in joining a Mastermind, please visit my Scalinguph2o.com/mastermind to learn how together we can raise up the water treatment industry.    Timestamps:   Upcoming Events [1:30]  James' Challenge: "Review all your accounts to ensure you've lived up to all your obligations.

David Marquet (MAR-KAY) was assigned to command the nuclear-powered submarine USS Santa Fe, then ranked last in retention and operational standing. He “turned the ship around” by treating the crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not taking control. This revolutionary approach not only took the Santa Fe from “worst to first” in the rankings, but also created more subsequent leaders than any other submarine. Stephen R. Covey called the Santa Fe “the most empowering organization [he'd] ever seen” and wrote about Captain Marquet's leadership practices in his book, The 8th Habit.Student of leadership and organizational design, former nuclear submarine Commander, and named one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers by Inc.

Our guest 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, he 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. He 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 your position, you can apply his approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier - and everyone is a leader. We welcome the author of Turn the Ship Around! and his latest book Leadership is Language, Captain David Marquet. More about David here: https://davidmarquet.com

The following is a conversation between David Marquet, Author of Leadership is Language: The Hidden Power of What You Say and What You Don't, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving. Too many leaders fall in love with the sound of their own voice and wind up dictating plans and digging in their heels when problems begin to emerge. Even when they want to be a more collaborative leader, they can undermine their own efforts by defaulting to command and control language we've inherited from the industrial era. My next guest says it's time to toss that old playbook, and that begins with choosing the words that can dramatically improve decision making and execution on your team. He is Captain David Marquet, Author of Leadership is Language: The Hidden Power of What You Say and What You Don't.

Today we are delving into the Leader-Leader leadership model, which is often used in opposition to the Leader-Follower leadership model. With inspiration from the great work of Captain David Marquet in his book "Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders", we are exploring the history behind the Leader-Follower model as well as its limitations. We will seek to understand what makes the Leader-Leader model a sustainable, effective and organically empowering model for leadership for societies and organisations alike, at every level. We will finish with practical tips and strategies to start applying these principles in your organisation, business and personal life today.

On today’s episode of Recruit and Retain, Chad welcomes Captain David Marquet, former submarine commander of the nuclear submarine Santa Fe, and author of the book ‘Turn Your Ship Around’.  Captain David and Chad discuss the similarities between running a submarine and the trucking industry. In particular, how to get your people to trust you. How can you get them to feel like they are part of the process? How can you make them want to help the whole organization and not just be a follower? Captain David realized during a simple drill that having one point of command was not only limiting to the efficiency of operations of the sub, it was downright dangerous.  “If you're the captain, you're responsible. So the problem is, if you're responsible, you say, well, it's going to be my head on the chopping block. I know who to blame when I go down in flames. And that mindset holds us back from building a system where we can trust our people. Because for me, trust is a big thing.”  What you’ll learn about in this episode: People performance isn’t a measure of leadership The difference between leadership, responsibility and ownership Language engineering How intention allows you to decouple ownership from decision making The key to getting someone committed to following procedure in the most dedicated way possible, is to incentivize them. How to get your people competent enough to empower them Trust is transparency, and transparency is a two way street How to connect with Captain David Marquet: https://www.davidmarquet.com/ david@turntheshiparound.com Leadership nudges (youtube)

His ship, the 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 responsibility than any other submarine—including ten subsequent submarine captains. #leadership #leaderseatlast #navy Submarine Captain David Marquet: Intent-Based Leadership with Brendan Carr

Leadership is essential to any endeavor that humanity undertakes For millennia leaders across spheres have looked to the military for the best leadership models to implement in their own organizations Captain David Marquet saw the tried and true leadership styles up close in his time as a junior officer and wasnt satisfied Join Sam and Brad as they review Captain Marquets book outlining a different philosophy and the success that he engendered aboard a nuclear submarine

Captain David Marquet is the author of Turn The Ship Around. The book documents his time leading the nuclear submarine, the USS Santa Fe. From among all the books I’ve read on leadership, Turn The Ship Around is one I remember and consistently think about when working with my team. The prescription he outlines is a very simple model empowering everyone to produce the best possible outcome. I decided to pick David's brain about the struggles he faced and how he came about the strategies listed in his book. Here’s what David and I discuss: How the top down, leader-follower model is not the most efficient way to run a team. Why we’re wired to create a leader-follower hierarchy. What happened when David took control of the Santa Fe, a submarine he wasn’t trained to run, didn’t know all the details about, and a ship with the worst performance in the US Navy’s fleet. Why he originally walked in with the mindset that he needs to give all the orders and know all the answers… but he didn’t. Why waiting for orders is a psychologically safe place for your team, and how to change that. What happened when David gave an incorrect order that the officer repeated back to do. And why the officer later told him he, “Knew the order couldn’t be done. But you told me to do it so I ordered it anyway. I thought you knew something I didn’t.” How giving orders prevents people from speaking up…even when you say you want people to speak up. The idea of a leader is to create an environment where your people can be at their best. Why we associate thinking as not working, and how that is wrong. How to give your team “control, competence, and clarity.” And how it will make your life easier. How David’s book gives you the tools you need so your team can feel like they've achieved what Daniel Pink says truly drives people: Mastery, autonomy, and purpose. How to use language that can start changing behaviors today. Why David said, “You can only control yourself. I can only control my own language but by controlling my language I can influence other people and I invite people to a better place. As opposed to controlling and manipulating other people.” How to invite people higher on the ladder of leadership. How to use language that empowers others to create ownership in their work. How David used the words, “I intend to…” And how it started the transformation aboard the Santa Fe. How to start asking more questions… And how it will enable your team to become more proactive. Why it’s important to think out loud. Why it’s important for your team to be comfortable with ambiguity and probabilistic thinking. The difference is between binary thinking and probabilistic thinking… And why it’s important to shift from binary thinking to probabilistic thinking.

What are the key components to better understanding leadership and becoming more proactive in taking the lead in our own personal and professional lives? In today’s episode, my guest, Kasson Bratton, an insightful leader from Nanjing International School, helps me to deconstruct the fundamental building blocks of leadership in an effort to more deeply understand what great leaders do in order to empower those around them and to focus on ‘giving’ rather than ‘taking’ control.

I love the strategy David has employed to empower and grow leaders… You’ll learn about his thought process on leadership in the Navy and in the civilian world as well.  David realized that the leader-follower environment meant his crew would do anything he said—even if it was wrong. That could be catastrophic. He decided to try Intent-Based Leadership again. 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. Captain David 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.
