What's You Learn?
Leader-leader models create excellence while leader-follower creates mediocrity – Turn the Ship Around by L. David Marquet shows how giving control paradoxically increases organizational performance. This comprehensive leadership transformation guide and empowerment principles explain:
  • Intent-Based Leadership - Crew states intentions rather than awaiting orders
  • Control-Competence-Clarity - Three pillars required for successful delegation
  • Thinking Out Loud - Verbalize thought processes to develop team judgment
  • I Intend To - Language shift from permission-seeking to ownership-taking
What most summaries miss: Marquet's "deliberate action" prevents empowerment from becoming recklessness through pause-and-vocalize protocols. Transform your Click.Apply.Grow™ leadership: Stop giving orders tomorrow. Ask "What do you intend?" Create competence ladders. Organizations using leader-leader models show 10x engagement scores and promotion rates. Give control. Gain performance.
