The Leadership Story​ That Started a Movement

Buy The Book

Turn the Ship Around! is more than a bestselling leadership book. It's the true story of how L. David Marquet, a U.S. Navy submarine captain, transformed one of the worst-performing crews in the fleet into one of the best, not by tightening control, but by giving it away.


His approach became known as Intent-Based Leadership®, and it has since been adopted by organizations around the world looking to build empowered, high-performing teams.

We help you put Intent-Based Leadership principles into practice.

We work with leaders to move beyond command-and-control habits to create environments where people think for themselves, speak up, share ideas, and take ownership of their work.


When we work together, you don't get a plug-and-play training package.​ You get a tailored experience that reflects your organization's​ culture, goals, and challenges.

Practicing Intent-Based Leadership will allow you to:

Shift from giving instructions to sharing the 'why' behind the work

Provide clarity so teams can act with confidence

Build competence that allows team members to take on more responsibility

Create the conditions for people to control their work and make decisions
