We were delighted to be joined by Dr Tim Jones from the University of Worcester at our Leader Forum to discuss, what next for leadership in the new norm?

Tim used himself as the example of the change that he has gone through over the last 12months in terms of his leadership style and approach. From leading from the front to leading from behind and creating leaders not followers. Fascinating insights from Tim on Genuine Co-creation * Vulnerability * Sharing and good conversations round the room. Please see Tim’s slides below and his article in the C2S magazine can be downloaded Pg: 7 & 8 Exploring Humanity In Leadership. Everyone agreed a timely reminder and intervention in these challenging and uncertain times.

Slides from the event: Humanity in Leadership

Tim shared the video (below) which is definitely worth a watch and we have the book – Turn The Ship Around written by David Marquet in the C2S Office. Anyone wants to borrow it let us know!

David Marquet single-handedly “turned his ship around” when he became captain of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear powered submarine which had a crew ranked dead last in retention and operational standings. By treating his crew as leaders, not followers, Marquet’s sub went from “worst to first.” Marquet addresses audiences who want to create empowering work environments that release the passion, initiative, and intellect of everyone on their team. Marquet is the author of Turn the Ship Around! How to Create Leadership at Every Level. Fortune magazine called it the “best how-to manual anywhere for managers on delegating, training, and driving flawless execution.” A US Naval Academy graduate, Marquet served in the US submarine force, where he commanded the nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine USS Santa Fe, stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The Santa Fe continued to win awards after his departure and promoted a disproportionate number of officers and enlisted men to positions of increased responsibility, including nine subsequent submarine captains.
