In order to harness the eyes, ears, and minds of your people, you need to foster a climate of collaborative experimentation that encourages people to speak up when they notice problems and work together to identify and test solutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLeadership is Language\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll learn how choosing your words can dramatically improve decision-making and execution on your team. Marquet outlines six plays for all leaders, anchored in how you use language: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eControl the clock, don't obey the clock: \u003c\/b\u003e Pre-plan decision points and give your people the tools they need to hit pause on a plan of action if they notice something wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eCollaborate, don't coerce: \u003c\/b\u003e As the leader, you should be the last one to offer your opinion. Rather than locking your team into binary responses (\"Is this a good plan?\"), allow them to answer on a scale (\"How confident are you about this plan?\") \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eCommit, don't comply: \u003c\/b\u003e Rather than expect your team to comply with specific directions, explain your overall goals, and get their commitment to achieving it one piece at a time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eComplete, not continue: \u003c\/b\u003e If every day feels like a repetition of the last, you're doing something wrong. Articulate concrete plans with a start and end date to align your team. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eImprove, don't prove: \u003c\/b\u003e Ask your people to improve on plans and processes, rather than prove that they can meet fixed goals or deadlines. You'll face fewer cut corners and better long-term results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - \u003cb\u003eConnect, don't conform: \u003c\/b\u003eFlatten hierarchies in your organization and connect with your people to encourage them to contribute to decision-making. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his last book, \u003ci\u003eTurn the Ship Around!\u003c\/i\u003e, Marquet told the incredible story of abandoning command-and-control leadership on his submarine and empowering his crew to turn the worst performing submarine to the best performer in the fleet. Now, with \u003ci\u003eLeadership is Language \u003c\/i\u003ehe gives businesspeople the tools they need to achieve such transformational leadership in their organizations.","brand":"L David Marquet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46349967032556,"sku":"9780735217539","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780735217539.jpg?v=1744172714","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/leadership-is-language-the-hidden-power-of-what-you-say-and-what-you-dont","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
