Because at least 1 in 2 Americans doesn’t like his or her job! No wonder that productivity plummets and unemployment levels rise to unprecedented levels! On Saturday morning, Santa Fe officers and observers from Squadron Seven and Naval Reactors gathered to critique the petty officer’s “red tag” mistake. According to Marquet, there’s a simple reason for this: we’ve lost our step with the times. And this is especially true for leaders and managers! Marquet supervised one of two 60-person crews operating the control room and nuclear reactor. Hoping to generate the passion he felt on Sunfish, Marquet gave the crew more control over their work. Instead of involving himself in details, he tried explaining the objectives and leaving it to the crew to determine how to meet them. But things went badly—the crew made mistakes in maintenance that required redoing work. They missed deadlines and fell behind schedule.

I'm a fully fledged groupie. He is the kind of leader who comes around only once a generation. He is the kind of leader who doesn't just know how to lead, he knows how to build leaders. His ideas and lessons are invaluable to anyone who wants to build an organization that will outlive them. (Simon Sinek, optimist and author of Start with Why)WE LEARN (EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME) is a mechanism for COMPETENCE." This was a great section on learning from mistakes without coming down really hard on the team members - everything is a learning opportunity. Since Turn the Ship Around! was published in 2013, hundreds of thousands of readers have been inspired by former Navy captain David Marquet’s true story. Many have applied his insights to their own organizations, creating workplaces where everyone takes responsibility for his or her actions, where followers grow to become leaders, and where happier teams drive dramatically better results.

No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet's approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier - and everyone is a leader. I was told this book explicitly is a foundation one successful organization has built its engineering culture upon, drawing strongly from its wisdom & principles Leaders and managers face an increasingly complex world, where precise execution, teamwork and enabling of talent are competitive advantages. David Marquet provides a blue print, along with real-life examples and implementation mechanisms. Anyone who is charged with leading and making a difference needs to read this. (John Cooper, President and CEO, Invesco Distributors)It’s not uncommon for enthusiastic employees to suggest new ideas, only to be told “that won’t work” or “it’s not your job”. People feel frustrated and eventually stop trying or leave the organization altogether. Bosses also feel frustrated when their staff would rather do the bare minimum rather than to innovate or take responsibility. The leader-leader model not only achieves great improvements in effectiveness and morale but also makes the organization stronger. Most critically, these improvements are enduring, decoupled from the leader’s personality and presence. Leader-leader structures are significantly more resilient, and they do not rely on the designated leader always being right. Further, leader-leader structures spawn additional leaders throughout the organization naturally. It can’t be stopped.”

The 20 th century was the century of workers. The 21 st is the century of leaders. The Leader-Leader Philosophy Is the Future David Marquet's message in Turn the Ship Around! inspires the empowerment of engaged people and leadership at all levels. He encourages leaders to release energy, intellect, and passion in everyone around them. Turn the Ship Around! challenges the paradigm of the hierarchical organization by revealing the process to tear down pyramids, create a flat organization, and to develop leaders, not followers. (Dale R. Wilson, Sr., business management professional, and editor/blogger at Command Performance Leadership (commandperformanceleadership.wordpress.com)) In David’s book he talks about developing a “Leader / Leader” model instead. This structure requires each individual to think like a leader.

He increased clarity on his ship by coming up with guiding principles for the ship--things like courage, openness, etc. Nothing revolutionary--who hasn’t seen this in an organization? But to ensure that this list of principles did not just become a piece of paper on the wall, Marquet embedded the principles in the wording of the ship’s awards and evaluations. So, for example, when someone received an award, the reasoning behind it was given in the language of the ship’s principles: “Petty Officer M exhibited Courage and Openness when reporting…” (Marquet 182). This brought the principles to life. It embedded the language and thinking of the principles into the actions of the crew. Clarity: Ensure crew members are clear on the organization’s goals so their decisions align with what Santa Fe needed to accomplish. Leaders knew so much and the workers so little. Leaders wanted to be missed after leaving the premises. In short, a revolutionary book about leaders who want to disrupt the leader-follower paradigm by learning about the benefits from an unconventional source: The US Navy. About L. David Marquet Does your Scrum Team have control? If not, who does? The Scrum Master? Scrum Masters are not there to make decisions or give commands, but to give control to the team so that the team grows in self-management. Scrum Masters influence, facilitate, and help make things transparent so that the team can inspect and adapt the why, what, and how of their work. They also are resolved on removing impediments to self-management and cross-functionality so that their team can thrive. A leader-follower Scrum Master is a non sequitur. Scrum Masters must be leader-leaders. They must give control away so that one day they are almost not even needed. In Conclusion

In this book, Mr. Marquet describes the experience of taking the worst submarine in the U.S. Navy and turning it into the best performing submarine in the entire fleet. The leader-leader structure is fundamentally different from the leader-follower structure. At its core is the belief that we can all be leaders and, in fact, it’s best when we all are leaders. Leadership is not some mystical quality that some possess and others do not. As humans, we all have what it takes, and we all need to use our leadership” Wouldn’t it be great if everybody in the world has equal chances and opportunities? And wouldn’t it be even better if there are no rigid hierarchies, so that you can be both a leader and a follower, depending on the situation?Identify practices and procedures embedded in the organization—the “genetic code”—that dictate control and rewrite them. I owe a lot to Captain David Marquet ... not only for turning the Santa Fe around during some REALLY bad times but I learned many lessons on leadership from him that have been invaluable in my post-Navy life. I preach the three legs (control, competence, clarity) of Leader-Leader everyday to empower my people and move the decisions to where the information lives.... I used these principles to turn around the GE Dallas Generator Repair Department, which was in crisis when I arrived in 2010 and now is the best Generator Repair Department in the GE Network.... Now I am tasked with turning around the Dallas Steam Turbine Repair Department.... (Adam McAnally, Steam Turbine Cell Leader at the GE Dallas Service Center and former crewmember, USS Santa Fe) Turn the Ship Around” doesn’t conform to this standard. It is a book with a much narrower audience, written by a leader for leaders. And it’s got a lot to do with military skills. Its outlook, however, is groundbreaking even in that area.
