b'Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 202! \\xa0\\nSoftware Process and Measurement Cast 202 features my interview with David\\xa0Marquet. \\xa0We discussed his book Turn the Ship Around!: How to Create Leadership\\xa0at Every Level. \\xa0I have already begun to put his advice to work! \\xa0I think you\\xa0will get a lot out of this interview.\\nBIO:A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, David Marquet served in the U.S. submarine force.\\xa0He commanded the nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine USS Santa Fe, stationed\\xa0in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Captain Marquet completely turned around Santa Fe,\\xa0where the crew went from being "worst to first." Santa Fe continued to win\\xa0awards after his departure and promoted a disproportionate number of officers\\xa0and enlisted men to positions of increased responsibility, including 9\\xa0subsequent submarine captains. After riding USS Santa Fe, noted author Stephen\\xa0R. Covey said it was the most empowering organization he\'d ever seen and wrote\\xa0about Captain Marquet\'s leadership practices in his book, The 8th Habit.\\nSince completing his military service David speaks to businesses and groups who\\xa0want to create empowering work environments that release the passion,\\xa0initiative, and intellect of each person. He has lectured on leadership at\\xa0Columbia University. This bold and highly effective leadership approach can be summarized as "give control, create leaders." The result embeds the goodness of\\xa0the organization in the people and practices instead of the personality of the\\xa0leader, building enduring and resilient organizations.\\nHe is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations and lives in Florida\\xa0with his wife, Jane.\\nI highly recommend Turn the Ship Around!: How to Create Leadership at Every Level. \\xa0Required reading if you are or want to be a leader. \\xa0Buy the\\xa0\\xa0or the\\nSPaMCAST 202 is sponsored by\\xa0!\\nLeanKit\'s visual management tools provide a great way to smoothly manage organizational change.
