Agile 2017 Keynote Speaker – David Marquet on Intent-Based Leadership

Agile 2017 opened with a Keynote from David Marquet. David is a former Navy Submarine Commander and the author of the book “Turn the Ship Around A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders” (http://amzn.to/2v4yc1T). David gave a presentation at Agile 2017 about how his experiences in the Navy influenced his style of leadership. Being the loudest and clearest voice in the room and using swear words doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a great leader, neither does pretending you know all the answers. Sometimes the best way to lead is to learn to trust and empower the people on your teams. In this interview David talks about his experiences, the challenges of learning to trust and his first hand experiences of seeing the powerful impact of intent-based leadership.
