#129 – Turn the Ship Around!

January 10, 2017 By Chase Clemons

With our final Book Club episode of the series, we look at “Turn the Ship Around!” from David Marquet. This quote from the book sums things up nicely:

“The core of the leader-leader model is giving employees control over what they work on and how they work. It means letting them make meaningful decisions.”

We look at what a leader-leader model means for our teams, how to think out loud in both in-person and remote situations, and why training is okay if it’s active.
