On this episode of the Lead Up Podcast, Mike is joined by David Marquette, a former submarine commander in the Navy, who shares his leadership style, and tells us about his new book. David tells us about high school when he didn't care about what people thought about him and how he brought that with him to the submarine. He cared deeply about the mission and the people on board, but he wasn't worried about the next promotion or the next review, allowing him to be the best leader he could be. David talks about how he changed the structure of leadership around him. Leaders usually apply their authority to make decisions, although David decided to turn against the grain and shifted it so that he used his authority to structure an organizational design. Another change David brings under his leadership is the removal of jumping to the defense of an opinion. Naturally, you will want to defend yourself in a difference of opinion, but David teaches you to ask why first, which can be less confrontational. Mike asks what the biggest challenges are in creating a new culture of intent-based leadership, to which David answers we act our way to new thinking, we don't think our way to new actions. A leader may have a vision of what he wants to see, but nothing changes until he begins to act on it. Finally, David tells us about his new book Leadership Is Language, which he wrote after feeling like he was programmed to speak a certain way. He encourages us to stop asking binary questions like “is the covid vaccine safe?” This should be replaced by “How safe is the covid vaccine?” You can buy the book online here.

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? Come with us on a journey that explores the lesser-known side. Whether it's social engineering, taking criminals to court or the journalists hunting down hackers — our new podcast series, Phishy Business, looks for new ways to think about cybersecurity.

Robin is joined by Captain David Marquet who imagines a workplace where everyone engages and contributes their full intellectual capacity, a place where people are healthier and happier because they have more control over their work—a place where everyone is a leader. He molded the leadership techniques he developed on the nuclear-powered submarine USS Santa Fe into a system called Intent-Based Leadership®.

In this episode, Dan Neumann is joined by a return guest and AgileThought colleague, Michael Guiler. Mike has been an agile coach for over 15 years and has experience helping geographically dispersed organizations (in both the business and technology fields) to transform and better achieve their goals. For the last year and a half, Mike has been with AgileThought as an Agile Consultant.   Together, Dan and Mike are discussing employee engagement and what organizations and leadership can do to improve it. Mike shares 2020 employee engagement statistics, what creates engagement, the differences between managers and leaders (and why this is important), and the key tips on what we can all do to drive employee engagement forward.   Key Takeaways 2020 employee engagement statistics: Only 36% of the people in an organization are actively engaged 50% of the people are “going along for the ride”/are ambivalent 14% of people are actively looking to “get off the train”/actively disengaged That adds up to 64% of the people in an organization are not giving the best they can give The good: the actively engaged employee percentage has been consistently going up year after year since 2009 What can we do to improve these statistics? What would make employees more engaged? People want to do know why they are doing what they're doing, have autonomy over it, understand what the goal is, and have a purpose Don't micromanage people as a manager or leader in an organization Transition managers into leadership roles Managers in an organization need to make sure employees understand autonomy, mastery, and purpose if they really want to help motivate and engage their people (Daniel Pink's book, Drive) Managers need to make sure that the organization's vision is very clear to everyone Ask, “Where are we headed? What are we trying to achieve?” Becoming self-managing and engaging will lead to employee motivation but the goal first needs to be understood If the vision is too big or too far out, employees can't visualize it (as a leader, you need to break this vision down into smaller, shorter-term goals so that getting from A-Z is understood) The product goal should be tied to the organizational vision If something isn't fulfilling the goal, end it/throw it away The goal should be shared early, often, and everywhere Share examples of things that were accomplished in the organization that fulfill said goal Managers vs. Leaders (and how leaders can improve employee engagement): A manager is somebody that is task-oriented, activity tracking, and only concerned about their own actions A leader is focused on the “us”/what “we” achieved, improving the environment for those who work within it, and enabling their team to succeed An organization's duty is to develop its managers into leaders, hire leaders, and foster an environment for leaders Keep in mind the recent shift to the Scrum Guide from “Servant-leader” to “leading by serving” It is important for managers/leaders to create a safe environment for people to engage without punishment/ridicule for making mistakes As a leader, it is important to understand that sometimes good decisions can lead to bad outcomes and bad decisions can lead to good outcomes (so don't punish, but rather explore this concept and create safety for employees) Leadership is not proportional to the time spent talking in meetings You have to give people the space to talk, explore, and share A tip for giving others space in conversation: Ask yourself before speaking, “Does it need to be said? Does it need to be said by me? And does it need to be said right now?” Tips for leaders for improving engagement: Provide clarity on what the problems are that employees are expected to take on There are many different ways to solve any given problem — as a leader, it is your job to point out the problem and give space to your people to explore the options and solve it their way Create a safe environment and boost engagement in meetings by asking questions, inviting people to speak, sharing the spotlight, resisting the urge to provide answers Emphasize “we” language, not “you” or “I” (i.e. if the team experiences “failure,” don't place the blame on a single individual) Own your own mistakes as a leader   Mentioned in this Episode: Michael Guiler's LinkedIn Agile Coaches' Corner Ep. 121: “Self-Managing vs. Self-Organizing with Michael Guiler” Agile Coaches' Corner Ep. 87: “Intent-Based Leadership with Michael Guiler” “What is Employee Engagement and How Do You Improve It?” Gallup “Historic Drop in Employee Engagement Follows Record Rise” Gallup Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, by Daniel H.

Leadership expert and former nuclear submarine captain David Marquet on leading teams under pressure.

We feel honored and privileged to be speaking to a fascinating leader today! Captain L. David Marquet is the founder and owner of a company called Intent-Based Leadership International. He is a former nuclear submarine Commander, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the books Turn the Ship Around, and Leadership is Language. He is also a global keynote speaker. In this episode, he shares his fascinating and inspiring story and describes his leadership structure, which frees people to think for themselves. We are sure you will enjoy this episode! David Marquet's bio: David Marquet is the author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller: Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders. He is also the author of The Turn the Ship Around Workbook, a companion workbook for implementing Intent-Based Leadership. David's newest book, Leadership is Language, is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller and Financial Times book of the month selection for February 2020. David imagines a workplace where everyone engages and contributes their full intellectual capacity, a place where people are healthier and happier because they have more control over their work–a place where everyone is a leader. A 1981 U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Captain Marquet served in the U.S. submarine force for 28 years. After being assigned to command the nuclear-powered submarine USS Santa Fe–then ranked last in retention and operational standing–he realized the traditional leadership approach of “take control, give orders,” would not work. He “turned the ship around” by treating the crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not taking control. This approach took USS Santa Fe from “worst to first,” achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the Navy. After Captain Marquet's departure, the USS Santa Fe continued to win awards and promoted a disproportionate number of officers and enlisted men to leadership positions, including ten subsequent submarine captains. Stephen R. Covey said it was the most empowering organization he had ever seen, and he wrote about Captain Marquet's leadership practices in his book, The 8th Habit. Captain Marquet retired from the Navy in 2009 and now speaks to audiences both virtually and in-person around the globe who want to create empowering work environments that release the passion, initiative, and intellect of each person. This bold and highly effective framework is summarized as “give control, create leaders.” He is a student of leadership and organizational design and was named one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers by Inc. Magazine.               There is nothing better than a submarine for an introvert David grew up during the Cold War. Although he did not have the profile of a typical military guy, he felt passionate about the Cold War situation. He also felt strongly about liberal democracy and wanted to do his part. So, even though it scared him, as an introvert, he could think of nothing better than a submarine because he could go underwater and hide from people, and he felt that was the place to be during the Cold War. A submariner He applied at the Naval Academy to be a submariner and became one. He always felt a bit like an outsider, however.  Getting promoted David kept getting promoted for the ability to make decisions and get the team to do what he wanted them to do.  A standard organizational design structure In the Navy, there is a standard organizational design structure. Senior people make decisions, and junior people do what senior people tell them to do. That gets done without thinking, so nobody even realizes that there are other ways to design hierarchies in organizations.  The USS Santa Fe David was sent to the USS Santa Fe, which had a reputation for being the worst submarine, with the worst morale. She was the laughing stock of the fleet. David had to go there because the Captain quit. A different kind of submarine The USS Santa Fe was a different kind of submarine. David tried using his usual ability to sort things out and make things better, but he made a technical mistake with an order he gave. In carrying out that order, the officer repeated the mistake. When David asked him why, the officer explained that although he knew better, he followed the order because he was told to do so.  People are conditioned and trained to do what they are told David explains that those things do not only happen in the military. They happen in many different organizations because people are conditioned and trained to do what they are told. Eight out of ten times, people do not speak up even when encouraged to do so.  David Marquet's view of leadership That realization changed David's view of leadership. He understood that because he was the most senior person in the organization, he had to get out of making decisions. The team had to make the decisions for two reasons: They knew more about the mechanics than he did, and they knew which buttons to push. He also needed them to take ownership and initiative without waiting for him to tell them what to do. A new journey So David and his team set off on a journey where David would not make any decisions. His team would tell him what to do. They would tell him what they saw, thought, liked to do, and what they intended to do. The core The core was the intent to create ownership. The senior person As the senior person at a meeting, don't say what you think. Let people vote first. Asking the right questions David became adept at asking his team the kind of questions that would help them and ultimately allow them to feel safe in making their own decisions. They had to learn to get out from behind their eyeballs and look back at themselves. The problem The problem with modern hierarchical structures is that they were designed to be stressful. Curiosity We need to learn to react to new ideas with curiosity. Intent Intent is a magic word for David. With intent, you get your team to align, and you get them to think.  David Marquet's thoughts on thinking out loud Leaders and team members should practice thinking out loud so that they share what is going on in their heads with others, according to David. That includes talking about how they feel about things. A structure The leader is doing things right when they create the structure for how the team will interact. Then the team can decide how they will carry out the project. Burnout Burnout comes from continuously having someone try to control you and continuously trying to control someone else. When the leader does not know All learning starts with the admission that “I don't know.” If the leaders cannot admit that they don't know, the team will not be able to admit when they don't know. When the team does not admit they don't know, you will not learn anything. The best performing submarine They became the best performing submarine in the fleet, with the highest score ever in the history of the Navy for operating a ship on the strength of the team being able to admit it when they did not know something more often than on any other submarine. Creating more leaders For David, the strength of what they achieved with the USS Santa Fe was that they created more leaders. Ten of the officers in the wardroom became submarine commanders because they were thinking like Captains when they were still junior officers.

In the new Scrum guide update, one of the key but subtle changes has been on the phrasing that teams must be “self-organizing” to now saying that they must be “self-managing.” So what might leaders do to help teams move forward in a direction of becoming more self-managing?   Joining Dan to discuss this topic and share his insights is return guest and AgileThought colleague, Michael Guiler. Mike is an agile consultant at AgileThought. He has been an agile coach for over 13 years and has experience helping geographically dispersed organizations (in both the business and technology fields) to transform and better achieve their goals.   Having done a fair amount with leaders himself, Mike has a ton of great insights on what leaders need to do to move their organization and teams in the direction of self-management, how to shift from a leader-follower to a leader-leader, why an organization would want to become self-managing in the first place, and the techniques and tactics leaders can use to enable self-managing teams. Don’t miss out!   Key Takeaways What does self-managing mean? Why would you want a self-managing team as an organization and a leader? Ultimately, you’re trying to build an environment where the organization and the people are really your focus If you can make your people happy, your organizations will take off and you will no longer have to be the “puppet master” that is pulling all of the strings Value the people and the interactions over the processes and tools “When we can get an organization to focus on the people and realize that they’re not resources … they really unleash the power of the organization.” — Michael Guiler A self-managing team can make really good decisions and have a great impact on its customers How to begin to move towards self-management and transition from a leader-follower to a leader-leader: Through an intention-based leadership model Nurture an environment that creates safety for your team Have open conversations with your team on self-management You should have a good idea of where the organization is going as a leader in order to get to a place where it can self-manage It is important to be completely transparent and make sure that everyone is on the same page about the organization’s vision and “why” The vision should be matched with feedback from the bottom (and left to right, etc.) so that it’s not a power dynamic Enable the team’s communication and ability to deliver based on the vision Get clear about how decision-making happens based on the type of decision Make sure that the proper authority for making decisions aligns with the vision and is clear Techniques and tactics leaders can use to enable self-managing teams: Story mapping is an incredibly valuable tool for software development teams to get everyone on the same page and aligned with where the organization is trying to go Sometimes a team member doesn’t have the competency or skills to become self-managing, it is your duty as a leader to fill those gaps, give them the information they need, and help them grow Give your team water-wings before you throw them in the pool! (i.e. Give your team safety so that when a mistake is made it gets caught and is not catastrophic) Challenges for leaders new to the servant leadership mindset: It takes time to change a “command and control” environment (i.e. the leader is used to “pulling the strings” and the team is used to having to wait for the strings to be pulled before they take action) If your team doesn’t understand the big picture they can’t self-manage effectively A lack of vision and understanding at all of the levels prevents self-management of the organization If you punish/reprimand team members for making the wrong decisions, they will eventually stop making decisions on their own (halting theirs and the team’s ability to become self-managing) Resources for leaders on unleashing your organization’s self-managing potential: Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't, by Simon Sinek Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders, by David L.

When Lakshmi started to work with this team, she noticed that the team did not see the value of the Scrum ceremonies, and started to silently sabotage those by being late or not participating actively. As Lakshmi investigated the situation further, she understood that at the root, the team did not see themselves as a team, but rather as individual contributors. In this episode, we discuss how we can help teams get out of the individual contributor mindset and into a team-effort and collaboration mindset. Featured Book of the Week: Turn The Ship Around!

David Marquet, a former nuclear submarine Commander was named one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers by Inc. Mag. A true student of leadership, David is the author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller: Turn the Ship Around!, a book that does not get anywhere near the attention it deserves. Hear how David imagines a workplace where everyone engages, contributes to their full intellectual capacity and ability because they have more control over their work. Imagine a place where everyone is a leader. "Many people underplay the value of great questions” What's David's favourite question? We have been conditioned to operate in a reactive mode, leader follower model. What's the key to changing that mindset? What's the thinking behind the exercise to have the team write their final report for the next 3 years? Who is Andy Worshek, and why was he important to David's story? Andy said other Captains looked at David and assumed he gave better orders, but that was not true. (giving no orders) It's not about empower and hope, or lead and trust. David defines the actual method? What was David's internal narrative when moving against status quo? David's principles require an enormous amount of genuine trust. How hard is it to turn that ship around when that trust does not exist? How do we move people from a “what could go wrong" mindset to a "what could we do best mindset"? What's the process for inviting scrutiny? One of David's Intent-Based Leadership principles is “Don't be good. Get better.” Why is that? Language and phrasing is critical on a submarine, words are powerful. As a Captain, what was David's identity? Growing up David said he was a geeky introverted kid. How hard was it to step into a leadership role? Why was being an introvert on the nuclear submarine an advantage as a leader? David explains the calm in a nuclear sub deep under the water…..there is an almost eyrie calm… how does that feel? Why David carried a flashlight. Did it change his identity when he had it in his hand? Why leaders should be responsible to how things are after you leave a job 6/12 months down the track. Does David colour code his day?  Red work is about doing. Blue work is thinking work, not just doing.

Minter Dialogue Episode #383David Marquet, speaker and author of the best-selling Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders as well Leadership is Language. A graduate of the Annapolis Naval Academy, he became a celebrated commander of a nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Santa Fe, for a remarkable turnaround performance. He left the Navy in 2009 and has developed a system called Intent-Based Leadership which could be summarized as “give control, create leaders.” In this conversation, we'll hear about how to let go, galvanise your team, deal with conflicts and develop a practical purpose.If you've got comments or questions you'd like to see answered, send your email or audio file to nminterdial@gmail.com; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.

This week on the Agile Coaches’ Corner, Dan Neumann is joined by a new guest, Michael Guiler! Mike is an Agile Consultant at AgileThought. He has been an Agile coach for over 13 years now and has tons of experience helping geographically dispersed organizations (both business and technology) transform to better achieve their goals. His focus is on helping organizations learn and apply the values and principles of the Agile mindset to continuously improve.   In this episode, Dan and Mike will be focusing on the topic of intent-based leadership and the key leadership characteristics that allow for intent-based leadership. Mike shares how an organization can begin to take the first steps towards intent-based leadership, how to avoid common pitfalls, and shares his best practical tips and advice on embracing intent-based leadership throughout the organization.   Key Takeaways What is intent-based leadership? What problems does it solve? Helps to get the entire team to chip in and no longer wait for approvals and sign-offs Takes the pressure off of one single leader and unlocks the potential of every employee The opposite of directive leadership Changing the pattern from leader-follower to leader-leader Those in the leadership level are not telling people what to do/how to do it; they are setting goals and directions The ‘followers’ are engaging their creativity, mind, and intelligence and leveraging those skills and sharing their solutions with the leadership (this gives the organization a great opportunity to learn and exposes leaders to things they hadn’t thought about before) Getting started with intent-based leadership/Characteristics of leadership to allow for intent-based leadership: Before the leader-leader pattern can take place a lot of growth has to take place Keep in mind that this process won’t happen overnight Immediately begin to address competence — leadership at all levels can’t thrive if your team doesn’t have the skills or knowledge to prioritize and take action Establish safety — mistakes will happen; it’s how we react to those mistakes that will enable leadership at all levels to thrive or to fail miserably Use mistakes as a learning opportunity rather than punishing an individual Be curious and ask good questions from a place of true curiosity Challenge your preconceived notions of how things have always been done Embrace new ideas and thoughts — there’s a real chance you’ll learn something! Allow time for the team to talk out loud Respect others opinions and encourage others to have their own point of view It’s hard and will take a lot of time and investment (but it’s money well-spent — the productivity will explode) It’s important to set guide rails in the technology world Focus on the goal/outcome instead of the ‘how’; set clear intentions and let the team figure out how Adopt the “I intend to” language pattern Mike’s intent-based leadership tips: Once the competency is established and you’ve gotten your organization thinking about it, it is important to establish safety (without safety people won’t bring their creative-selves or do anything new) It is key crucial for the team to know what the goals are Have an “ish” mindset; decisions and actions being taken won’t match yours and that’s OK! Overcome urges to command and control Be tolerant of differences and encourage different points of view Mike’s recommendation to further learn about intent-based leadership: Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders, by David L.

Leadership is Language - L. David Marquet In 2013, David Marquet’s book Turn the Ship Around (https://amzn.to/3bbE2nk) was published, introducing intent based leadership to people all over the world. Since then David has worked with thousands of companies, teams, and individuals and helped them transform the way they think about and engage with others. His new book Leadership Is Language (https://amzn.to/3b6H3p7 ) digs even deeper into intent based leadership by focusing on the subtle ways in which the words we choose impact the message we are trying to send—how it is received and acted upon by others. In this interview, David and I talk about the new book and some of the key ideas he introduces in Leadership is Language. One of concepts we focus on in the interview is blue work vs. red work, or, the thinking work we do that embraces variability and the execution work we do where we want to limit variability. As an added bonus, David shares a a tip towards the end of the interview that is absolutely going to transform your ability to get people to arrive on time for events.

I absolutely loved this conversation with David who is the first person to come back onto the Value through Vulnerability for a 2nd time. Please fond as follows some of the rich insights and their timings in the podcast: - “The realisation I had was all of my leadership training was about telling people what to do; telling them nicely, telling them precisely, telling them so they thought it was there idea, but fundamentally about telling people what to do” – 02.45 - “First of all, I had to get away from this idea that I was controlling other peoples behaviour. We live in a world where we think that the way to have success in your job, is to get other people to do stuff” – 05.20 “I think there is a real limitation here which is they are only going to be as good as you, they are only going to be as proactive as you, and they’re not going to give that discretionary effort” - 05.40 - “just imagine if you needed to spend zero time managing people. You need to coordinate people, their efforts should to be coordinated, but what if you didn’t have to manage any of them, they just managed themselves.” – 07.05 - “It’s good people, trying to do the right thing, but with the wrong playbook of the industrial, playbook” – 19.10 David can be contacted via the followings means: Bio: Student of leadership and organizational design, former nuclear submarine commander, Author of Amazon #1 Best Seller: Turn the Ship Around!, Leadership is Language, and The Turn the Ship Around!

As the Captain of a nuclear submarine, David Marquet created Intent-based Leadership. He is a nationally recognized speaker and authored the Amazon bestseller Turn the Ship Around. Overcoming the obstacle that restricts leaders from admitting that they don’t know something can be very difficult. David attributes this to leaders often thinking that leadership is a theoretical skill and provides a comparison that simplifies the type of skill that it really is.  People learn more from failure than they do from success. David shares some of the failures that have shaped him into who he is today and reflects on what he learned from them. We also hear about the two types of ego that are competing inside of us whenever we are put under pressure. BIO:  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 his 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.  Captain Marquet is the author of Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders. Fortune magazine named it the #1 must-read business book of the year, and USA Today listed it as one of the top 12 business books of all time.  David Marquet is here today to deliver the powerful message that in highly effective organizations, leadership is not for the select few at the top; he will tell you how he and the crew of Santa Fe developed a way to create leaders at every level.  More about guest can be found here: Website: https://www.davidmarquet.com YouTube: Leadership Nudges-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM6PvFiH_weNCMCnFynTNdg Even More about the guest:  Student of leadership and organizational design, former nuclear submarine commander, Author of Amazon #1 Best Seller: Turn the Ship Around!

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Episode #257: David Marquet - Intent Based Leadership (Turn The Ship Around!) Captain Dave Marquet is a 1981 U.S. Naval Academy graduate.  He served in the U.S. submarine force for 28 years.

Captain Marquet is 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.” "Leadership is not for the select few at the top. In highly effective organizations, there are leaders at every level. When we give our people more authority, we actually create more effective leaders." Show Notes: Sustaining excellence: "The ability to decouple from their personal feelings their personality. It can't all depend on one person. In a consistent organization, the leader is part of it, but not all of it." How parenting helps you become a better leader: "That's really interesting. As a parent, you're trying to create an independent decision maker." The United States Naval Academy definition of leadership = Leadership can be defined as directing the thoughts, plans, and actions of others... So as to obtain their command and obedience, their confidence, their respect, and their loyal cooperation." --> Why this is wrong and not effective. "I intend to..." -- Intent based leadership How to create the environment for the team to make decisions Intent based environment: People don't need to be told what to do. Lean back, team leans forward. Don't make yourself (as the leader) a bottleneck. Risks = Tune level of control to competence or confidence of the team... Expose my thought process (as the leader) to you to see how I put it together. Ask "what" and "how" questions... If you get hired as a new manager and did not get to choose anyone on your team? "Focus on what you can control.  Do we welcome each other? Do we care? Do we connect?" Making the jump from individual contributor to manager: "Talk less, don't have all the answers... Listen." "Push information to authority.  Be knowing, not telling." The job of the leader is to determine how the team works Minimize cognitive burden -- "The leader defines the structure." "We act our way to new thinking, not think our way to new acting."   Social Media: Read: Turn The Ship Around!

In 1981, David graduated top of his class from the U.S. Naval Academy—an institute renowned for developing “leaders to serve the nation.” Thereafter, he joined the submarine force. Along his journey, one thing bothered him: the traditional leader-follower model. Used by the Navy and most companies around the world, the goal of leader-follower is to influence people to comply, not think. David experienced first-hand how this practice makes people feel marginalized. He knew in his gut that there had to be a better way. He’d soon discover that to prove his theory he’d have to break some rules. As engineer officer aboard the USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659), a nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine, David tried empowering his team. He provided broad guidance, giving the team intent rather than orders. It was … a disaster. His team made poor decisions that led to errors. He had to stop and revert to the traditional leader-follower method. Taking Command Ultimately, David was selected to captain the USS Olympia (SSN-717), a nuclear powered attack submarine. He studied for over a year to take command, understanding on a deep level every detail of how that submarine operated. Unexpectedly, David was diverted to take command of the USS Santa Fe (SSN-763) when its captain quit. Santa Fe was the worst performing submarine in the fleet and a different type of submarine that he knew little about. Troubled Waters Less than a month later the Santa Fe was running a simple drill to simulate a fault with the reactor. In this scenario, propulsion is shifted from the main engines to a smaller, electric propulsion motor. The captain ordered, “ahead two-thirds.” The officer on deck repeated the order, “ahead two-thirds.” Nothing happened. Captain Marquet noticed the helmsman who was to execute the order looked unsettled. When asked what the problem was, the helmsman pointed out that there was no two-thirds in the electric propulsion mode unlike all his previous submarines. When asked, the officer on deck said he repeated the command knowing it was wrong. 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. Turning the Ship Around 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 responsibility than any other submarine—including ten subsequent submarine captains.

In 1981, David graduated top of his class from the U.S. Naval Academy—an institute renowned for developing “leaders to serve the nation.” Thereafter, he joined the submarine force. Along his journey, one thing bothered him: the traditional leader-follower model. Used by the Navy and most companies around the world, the goal of leader-follower is to influence people to comply, not think. David experienced first-hand how this practice makes people feel marginalized. He knew in his gut that there had to be a better way. He’d soon discover that to prove his theory he’d have to break some rules. As engineer officer aboard the USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659), a nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine, David tried empowering his team. He provided broad guidance, giving the team intent rather than orders. It was … a disaster. His team made poor decisions that led to errors. He had to stop and revert to the traditional leader-follower method. Taking Command Ultimately, David was selected to captain the USS Olympia (SSN-717), a nuclear powered attack submarine. He studied for over a year to take command, understanding on a deep level every detail of how that submarine operated. Unexpectedly, David was diverted to take command of the USS Santa Fe (SSN-763) when its captain quit. Santa Fe was the worst performing submarine in the fleet and a different type of submarine that he knew little about. Troubled Waters Less than a month later the Santa Fe was running a simple drill to simulate a fault with the reactor. In this scenario, propulsion is shifted from the main engines to a smaller, electric propulsion motor. The captain ordered, “ahead two-thirds.” The officer on deck repeated the order, “ahead two-thirds.” Nothing happened. Captain Marquet noticed the helmsman who was to execute the order looked unsettled. When asked what the problem was, the helmsman pointed out that there was no two-thirds in the electric propulsion mode unlike all his previous submarines. When asked, the officer on deck said he repeated the command knowing it was wrong. 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. Turning the Ship Around 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 responsibility than any other submarine—including ten subsequent submarine captains.

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 manufacturers to start-ups and sport teams to government.

David gave a presentation at Agile 2017 about how his experiences in the Navy influenced his style of leadership. Being the loudest and clearest voice in the room and using swear words doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a great leader, neither does pretending you know all the answers. Sometimes the best way to lead is to learn to trust and empower the people on your teams. In this interview David talks about his experiences, the challenges of learning to trust, and his first hand experiences of seeing the powerful impact of intent-based leadership.
