In today's episode of the Better Leadership Team Show, I welcome David Marquet. He is a former US submarine force commander who transformed the USS Santa Fe from worst to first by empowering his crew. Marquet's revolutionary leadership approach, which treats crew members as leaders rather than followers, led to the highest retention and operational standing in the Navy. Marquet shares insights on the importance of language in fostering a culture of empowerment and ownership within teams. This conversation highlights how simple shifts in language, such as using 'we' instead of 'they,' and asking neutral questions, can transform organizations across various industries. Whether you're managing a hotel or running a nuclear power plant, these principles can be applied in any leadership role. Tune in to uncover the key principles behind turning followers into leaders and feel included in this universal approach.
