Leadership Is Language

The Hidden Power of What You Say--and What You Don't

L. David Marquet

Wall Street Journal Bestseller From the acclaimed author of Turn the Ship Around!, former US Navy Captain David Marquet, comes a radical new playbook for empowering your team to make better decisions and take greater ownership. As a leader in today's networked, information-dense business climate, you don't have full visibility into your organization or the ground reality of your operating environment. In order to harness the eyes, ears, and minds of your people, you need to foster a climate of collaborative experimentation that encourages people to speak up when they notice problems and work together to identify and test solutions. In Leadership is Language, you'll learn how choosing your words can dramatically improve decision-making and execution on your team. Marquet outlines six plays for all leaders, anchored in how you use language: • Control the clock, don't obey the clock: Pre-plan decision points and give your people the tools they need to hit pause on a plan of action if they notice something wrong. • Collaborate, don't coerce: As the leader, you should be the last one to offer your opinion. Rather than locking your team into binary responses ("Is this a good plan?"), allow them to answer on a scale ("How confident are you about this plan?") • Commit, don't comply: Rather than expect your team to comply with specific directions, explain your overall goals, and get their commitment to achieving it one piece at a time. • Complete, not continue: If every day feels like a repetition of the last, you're doing something wrong. Articulate concrete plans with a start and end date to align your team. • Improve, don't prove: Ask your people to improve on plans and processes, rather than prove that they can meet fixed goals or deadlines. You'll face fewer cut corners and better long-term results. • Connect, don't conform: Flatten hierarchies in your organization and connect with your people to encourage them to contribute to decision-making. In his last book, Turn the Ship Around!, Marquet told the incredible story of abandoning command-and-control leadership on his submarine and empowering his crew to turn the worst performing submarine to the best performer in the fleet. Now, with Leadership is Language he gives businesspeople the tools they need to achieve such transformational leadership in their organizations.

Turn the Ship Around!

A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders

L. David Marquet

“One of the 12 best business books of all time…. Timeless principles of empowering leadership.” – USA Today "The best how-to manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training, and driving flawless execution.” —FORTUNE Marquet was a Naval Academy graduate and an experienced officer when selected for submarine command. Trained to give orders in the traditional model of “know all–tell all” leadership, he faced a new wrinkle when he was shifted to the Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine. Facing the high-stress environment of a sub where there’s little margin for error, he was determined to reverse the trends he found on the Santa Fe: poor morale, poor performance, and the worst retention rate in the fleet. Marquet ran into trouble when he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. When he asked why, the answer was: “Because you told me to.” Marquet realized that while he had been trained for a different submarine, his crew had been trained to do what they were told—a deadly combination. That’s when Marquet flipped the leadership model on its head and pushed for leadership at every level. Turn the Ship Around! reveals how the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet by challenging the U.S. Navy’s traditional leader-follower approach. Struggling against his own instincts to take control, he instead achieved the vastly more powerful model of giving control to his subordinates, and creating leaders. Whether you need a major change of course or just a tweak of the rudder, you can apply Marquet’s methods to turn your own ship around.

Santa Fe rapidly improved its dismal performance record and started winning awards as the best ship in its class.

As Marquet writes: Imagine a workplace where everone engages and contributes their full intellectual capacity, a place where people are happier and healthier because they have more control over their work -- a place where everyone is a leader.... All of this is possible, but not with the current leadership paradigm.

Muitos já se beneficiaram com seus insights aplicando-os em suas empresas ao criar ambientes de trabalho no qual todos assumem responsabilidades por suas ações. Os seguidores se desenvolvem e se tornam líderes e equipes mais alegres, entregando melhores resultados. Marquet já era graduado na Academia Naval e um oficial experiente quando foi escolhido para comandar um submarino. Treinado para dar ordens da maneira tradicional de liderança "saiba tudo, diga tudo", enfrentou um novo contratempo quando foi realocado para o Santa Fe, um navio movido a energia nuclear. Enfrentando ambientes de estresse elevados de um submarino, no qual a margem para cometer erros é mínima, Marquet estava determinado a reverter a tendência que encontrou no Santa Fe: moral baixa, performance precária e a pior taxa de retenção da frota. Marquet se deparou com problemas quando deu uma ordem impossível de ser cumprida e sua tripulação tentou cumpri-la mesmo assim. Quando questionados sobre o porquê dessa atitude, a resposta foi a seguinte: "Porque você ordenou." Marquet percebeu que, enquanto ele havia sido treinado para estar em outro tipo de submarino, sua tripulação havia sido treinada para fazer o que lhes fosse ordenado, uma combinação desastrosa. Foi quando Marquet modificou o modelo de liderança que havia na cabeça de sua tripulação e se empenhou para alcançar níveis de liderança cada vez maiores. Mude de Direção! revela como o Santa Fe foi do pior para o primeiro de sua frota, desafiando a tradicional abordagem do líder e do seguidor. Ajuste seu leme, aplique os métodos de Marquet e mude sua própria direção!
