Join fellow nonprofit colleagues for an informal book club conversation about David Marquet's book Leadership is Language, compelling advice on how to lead more effectively by choosing your words more wisely.
Marquet offers a radical playbook to empower teams on a path to continuous improvement. The framework he provides is designed to help teams achieve the right balance between deliberation and action and take bold risks without endangering their mission. As a submarine captain, Marquet used his counterintuitive leadership model to turn the worst-performing submarine crew into the best-performing one in the fleet, a story he recounted in his bestselling book Turn the Ship Around! Now, in Leadership Is Language, he draws on a wide range of examples, from the 2017 Oscars Best Picture mishap to the tragic sinking of the SS El Faro, to show you exactly how the words you use (and don't use) impact how your people contribute.
