Overview:

‘David Marquet is the kind of leader who comes around only once in a generation … his ideas and lessons are invaluable’ Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why.

Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance and the worst retention in the fleet.

One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realized he was leading in a culture of followers, and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things.

Marquet took matters into his own hands and pushed for leadership at every level. Before long, his crew became fully engaged and the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst t first in the fleet.

No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet’s approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier – and everyone is a leader.

Overview:

Connected Leadership provides a clear, practical guide for leaders of organisations who wish to create a more connected, agile and customer-oriented organisation in a digitally connected, customer-driven 21stcentury business environment.

It lays out the key factors of the connected organisation and the leadership behaviours that will allow these factors to become embedded and sustainable.  It provides a range of case examples to demonstrate what this looks like in practice, complemented by a series of tools and techniques that leaders can use to diagnose their organisation’s current position and plot a successful course to achieve these more connected ways of working.

It is, at heart, a real-world guide to changing your leadership style and approach to align an organisation’s culture and values with those needed in a world where the prevailing models of command and control are so obviously failing.

Connected Leadership will show you how to:

  • Create a more agile organisation & respond swiftly to changing markets & customer needs
  • Cope with increasing market complexity & uncertainty
  • Build trust, reputation & become a more authentic leader
  • Develop a ‘connected leadership’ approach
