In this episode, Riki gets to chat to with L. David Marquet, former submarine captain of the USS Santa Fe and renowned author of Turn the Ship Around!. David shares his unique insights on leadership, drawing from his experience turning a struggling crew into one of the best-performing teams in the Navy.
Key topics include:
Driving for Excellence: How leaders can set high standards and inspire teams to continuously improve.
Thinking and Action: The importance of aligning thought with action for effective decision-making.
Shifting to a Learning Zone: Why fostering a culture of learning leads to better long-term outcomes.
Leadership is About the People: David emphasizes that leadership is not about the leader, but about empowering those you lead.
Bias of Action and Ownership: How encouraging a bias towards action can foster a deeper sense of ownership and responsibility in teams.
We also dive into some of the key principles from David’s book, such as:
Control the Clock: Instead of rushing to decisions to prove competence, take the time to ensure the best possible outcome.
Improve Outcomes, Not Just Prove Ability: Focus on making meaningful progress rather than simply demonstrating skill.
This conversation is packed with practical lessons for anyone looking to lead with purpose and create a high-performance environment. Don't miss it!
