In this episode, Nick sits down with David Marquet a former US Navy officer who commanded the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear submarine, and literally turned the ship around.
Captain Marquet began treating his crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not taking control. It wasn’t long before operations took a dramatic turn. Santa Fe went from “worst to first,” achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the Navy.
Nick and David discuss the language of leadership and words we do and do not use with the people we work with, whether it is our students, parents, or colleagues.
