If you are a leader who is constantly putting out fires, manually approving work, and personally involved in every aspect of your business... you're doing it wrong. If you disagree, take it up with Commander David Marquet, who managed to turn around the single worst crew in the navy by... not doing any of that.
This week, Coach Jason flies solo to talk about employee engagement. We are diving into the book Turn The Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders by David Marquet. After being given command of a nuclear submarine, Marquet discovered that the crew were constantly waiting around for orders and were generally focused more on individual tasks than the shared goals of the group. Marquet revitalized his crew by empowering individuals, clearly communicating his intent, and trusting his men to be experts in their fields.
We are excited to share with you not only how Marquet pulled it off, but the universal leadership principles behind his example. We hope you enjoy!
