David Marquet: Leadership is Language David Marquet is the former commander of the U.S.S. Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered attack submarine. Under David's command, the ship had an impressive turnaround, achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the Navy. David is the author of the bestseller Turn the Ship Around: A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders* and his newer book, Leadership is Language: The Hidden Power of What You Say and What You Don't*. In this rebroadcast, David and I explored the seven sins of questioning. David shared the story of the ill-fated El Faro and how we can discover better information in leadership by making the shift from self-affirming to self-educating. Seven Ways to Ask Better Questions Instead of questions stacking, try one and done. Instead of a teaching moment, try and learning moment. Instead of a dirty question, try a clear question. Instead of a binary question, start the question with “what” or “how.” Instead of a “why” question, try “tell me more.” Instead of a self-affirming question, try self-educating questions. Instead of jumping to the future, start with the present, past, then future.

In this episode of Moments in Leadership, host David B. Armstrong spends time with DUSN Victor Minella, otherwise referred to as “Dozen” where they spend time discussing various topics related to leadership from his enlisted time, his officer time, and finally in civilian leadership inside the Department of the Navy. DUSN Minella covers the importance of leadership in making organizations successful and the differences/similarities in leading civilians and military personnel. DUSN Minella emphasizes leaders should seek to understand their personnel as individuals and not merely names on a chart. He also believes the best organizations are those where everyone is held to the same standard, especially on the ethical side.  To make this happen, he stresses the importance of compassion and understanding junior personnel will make mistakes, the important thing is to understand why the mistake happened and ensure the person is still a member of the team.  While every leader is responsible for setting the culture and foundation, the episode also covers the need for ethical leadership to ensure personnel Live Their Oath. DUSN Minella says unethical leaders are one of the quickest ways to erode trust in a command and more broadly, citizens' trust towards the military.  The trust of people is firstly forged from competence and leaders must be able to triage and quickly learn. The transition from military to civilian removes the bonafides of the uniform and rolling up one's sleeves and getting involved helps in gaining trust and showing competence in the job. Losing military identity can be overcome by having job satisfaction, so picking the right job, and not just ‘a job' is vitally important in helping service members make their transition outside the military.  DUSN Minella discusses the role of the Senior Executive Service is to be an executive and not specifically to task but to give guidance when needed and support when warranted. Oftentimes being the ‘easy answer' fails to create teams where initiative becomes a part of the organizational culture. The role of innovation is critical to solving some of the most important issues facing warfighters today. Fostering a culture of mentorship, communication, and innovative ‘maverick' thought allows an organization to be agile and responsive to the needs of these warfighters.  DUSN Minella discusses how being ‘All-In' is essential for maximizing both individual opportunities and improving National Security. The commitment and the Oath means being ‘All-In' for the United States.     Overall, the episode is an insightful discussion about leadership, the importance of mentorship, and the need for leaders to build relationships with their subordinates. Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

In this episode of Moments in Leadership, host David B. Armstrong invites LtGen Dave Furness back to the show to discuss various topics related to leadership. LtGen Furness covers the importance of leadership in making organizations successful and the difference in the interaction between the lieutenants and the captains. LtGen Furness emphasizes that leaders should be frequent in praising their subordinates and building goodwill, loyalty, and commitment. He believes that the best Marine organizations are those where the collective goes above and beyond what's required and that this is achieved by leaders who care about their people and are passionate about making their journey better. To make this happen, he stresses the importance of mentorship and making time for it, regardless of rank. He emphasizes the obligation of senior leaders to impact as many people as possible and advises leaders to stand up for their beliefs and tell their bosses the necessary information, even if it's not what they want to hear. While every leader is responsible for setting this culture and foundation, the episode also covers the need for senior leadership to operationalize the various lines of effort in the USMC, such as Talent Management, Training, and Education. LtGen Furness suggests that leadership needs to be taught as a personal connection to another human being, and the first step to establishing this relationship is building rapport. He talks about the importance of building a relationship quickly to establish trust. Institutionally, LtGen Furness also discusses the impact of hazing and yelling in military training on the development of young Marines. LtGen Furness argues that theatrical yelling, screaming, and hazing contribute to a culture that teaches Marines that this is the way to lead. Instead, he suggests removing such behaviors and adopting a more professional approach that holds Marines accountable for their actions without resorting to hazing.  LtGen Furness has given a 90-minute class to every Basic School company for the last two and a half years. The class covers the role of leaders in making organizations elite and how to lead organizations. Afterward, he stays and answers questions until the lieutenants are tired of asking. He notes that the questions are very informed and cover topics such as strategic policy, force design, and leadership hypothetical questions about scenarios they might face when entering the operational forces. He says that the lieutenants ask better questions than he did at a similar stage in his career. Overall, the episode is an insightful discussion about leadership, the importance of mentorship, and the need for leaders to build relationships with their subordinates. Thank you for supporting the project (below) Please consider supporting this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership Supercast  Want to support the project AND look cool at the gym or when you take your blouse off for a working party?

This week, Clint has a conversation with author, L. David Marquet. David is a top graduate of the US Naval Academy, commanded the nuclear-powered, fast-attack submarine USS Santa Fe and now works with businesses nationwide as a leadership consultant. Since retiring from the Navy, he's written two books, “Turn the Ship Around: A True Story of Turning Leaders Into Followers” and “Leadership is Language: The Hidden Power of What You Say — and What You Don't.” On the podcast, David discusses the importance of teams using resilient language instead of inherently fragile language, the reason leadership styles from the industrial revolution don't work today, and why collaborating effectively results in commitment.

What if we could create a trade culture that allowed for change rather than relying on mechanical thinking? In this episode of Programming Leadership, Marcus and his guest, GeePaw Hill, discuss how the doubling rate in the software industry has resulted in a complete lack of trade discipline. Drawing on his 40 years in the software industry, GeePaw’s solution is to develop a thick culture in which certain standards are established across the industry. They also discuss why the industrial model of work is so unsatisfying, the real reason why good workers leave organizations, and the importance of luck.   Show Notes The doubling rate of makers has resulted in a total lack of culture in the software industry (2:12) Defining Thick Culture, Thin Culture, and the Frame (4:01) Using the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as a model for the kind of frame the trade needs (5:40) How the doubling rate resulted in a lack of leaders that can develop an industry discipline (6:34) Why good workers leave organization (18:05) Developing a common language of change in the trade (24:24) The real-life challenges leaders face when implementing change in their organizations (31:40) Why managers and HR are wrong about why employees leave (41:10)   Links: The Field Guide to Human Error by Sidney Dekker Turn the Ship Around: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders by L.

David shares the story of the ill-fated El Faro and how we can discover better information in leadership by making the shift from self-affirming to self-educating. Key Points A leading question comes from a place of thinking the person is wrong, or that you have the answer. I hear this a lot from people who think they have the right answer but don’t want to use say so, so they use the Socratic method as a “teaching moment.” It’s annoying and arrogant.

Agile 2017 opened with a Keynote from David Marquet. David is a former Navy Submarine Commander and the author of the book "Turn the Ship Around A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders" (http://amzn.to/2v4yc1T). 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.

Permission to Speak Podcast. Hosted by Leadership Communications Expert Kelly Vandever. Episode #10 - David Marquet. Permission to Speak is the video blog and podcast that loiters at the intersections of leaders who want their people to speak up, technology that facilitates connections, and results that serve an organization’s higher purpose. Topics covered in this episode include: - Turn the Ship Around: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders - Former Commanding Officer of USS Santa Fe - His life depended on his staff speaking up - Took the USS Santa Fe from the worst ship in the fleet with regards to performance and morale and turned the ship around to become the best ship in a year with the highest scores the Navy had ever recorded! - Giving orders versus intent based leadership - If you give orders, people will follow them… and not speak up even if you tell them it’s OK to speak up - By saying, “I intend to…” to your boss, you have to take psychological ownership of the action and results - Plus by saying, “I intend to…” it creates an opportunity to have a conversation between leader and employee - Give people authority in a small way first and see what happens - My boss trusts me, I’m the master of my domain - The real story was what happened over the next 10 years when officer after officer (10 total) got selected to be a submarine commander which was unprecedented! - If you have a “know all, tell all” attitude as a leader, you can have an impact for a time. But when you leave thing drop. Leadership is measured by what happens when you leave. Leadership is what your people do when you’re not there… how much do you get people to believe in themselves - Compare that to the leadership text at the academy that says, “Leadership is directing the thoughts, plans and actions of others so as to obtain and command their obedience, their competence and their respect.” - Creating a system where you don’t have to give orders is where you get to - It’s scary to go against your instinct and training to give commands and not tell them what to do - Staff was incredibly forgiving - Representation of the drawing David does 18 minutes into the interview - Y-axis giving away control, X-access level of competence and clarity of the people - You can give control away when there’s an emergency when people are competent and clear about what you’re trying to achieve - Know All / Tell All 2x2 matrix - Representation of the drawing David does 24 minutes into the interview - Know your job, but whenever possible, resist giving your people the answers - People start feeling better about coming to work because they have decision making power which results in increased retention, employee satisfaction score goes up and customer satisfaction scores go up - Your people are more important than customers… they’re the ones taking care of the customers! - Story of University of Kentucky baseball, Brian Green, batting coach, who stopped telling kids what to do and told the kids, your job is to tell me what’s your plan. Made the kids think. Next year, top of the league. Signed a kid to the majors, first time it’d ever happened there. Now Brian is the head coach at the New Mexico State. - Engage thinking to help staff solve their own problems - Create the space where employees have room to think and problem solve - Satisfaction in a job comes from knowing your job matters, from feeling competent in your ability to do it, being connected to some kind of a team and having control - Speed at which people willingly take ownership of intent varied by individual - Relationship of total trust and taking care of your people - Trust is trust… it doesn’t mean trust plus competence together - You need to actually care about your people, and you can’t fake it - Example of the career counselor who would come in at 3 in the morning to take care of the sailors when they transferred after their tour on the ship - Leadership
