Description

Organizational agility needs pro-active people. People that dare take initiative rather than do the minimum so as to avoid making mistakes. Does that seem a problem for your organisation because it needs its procedures and hierarchy badly, say for compliancy, or because your setting is just so darn complicated? What if I tell you the most empowered work environment - according to Stephen R. Covey - may well be found aboard a certain US nuclear submarine? This session is filled with the remarkable stories of that ships turn around. It will introduce you to the leader-leader model, a term coined by David Marquet to describe how he built leaders in an hierachical and strict setting with great responsibilities. Time to develop leaders, not followers.
