Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquet

4.0

Notes:
- Don’t move information to authority, move authority to the information.
- Trust == I believe you don’t lie, but you can still be wrong.
- Use “I intend to … ” to turn passive followers into active leaders. Has to include all the rationale of the decision which helps team members to think at the next higher and broader.
- Adherence to the process frequently becomes the objective, as opposed to achieving the objective that the process was put in place to achieve.
- A briefing is a passive activity for everyone except the briefer. Think about how to make briefings more active

Begin with the end in mind.
Encourage a questioning attitude over blind obedience.
