Abstract
David Marquet is an author, a top-ranked keynote speaker, and the President of the Intent-Based Leadership Institute. His bestselling book Turn the Ship Around! is regarded as the best how-to book on driving flawless execution and for creating leaders at every level. After being assigned to command a nuclear-powered submarine, then ranked last in retention and operational standing, he “turned his ship around” by treating the crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not taking control.
