464 [Leadership Reset] Turn the Ship Around: Creating Leaders Instead of Followers with L. David Marquet

**Welcome to the Summer Leadership Reset on Partnering Leadership.** We have more access to ideas than ever before. More books. More podcasts. More articles. More insights. The challenge isn’t finding more information. It’s spending enough time with the ideas that can change how we think, decide, and lead. I have seen this in my own life. The books and conversations that have influenced me most aren’t the ones I rushed through and moved on from. They are the ones I returned to, wrestled with, and understood differently as my own experiences changed. After more than 450 Partnering Leadership conversations with CEOs, researchers, authors, and leadership thinkers, there are a few I continue coming back to because the ideas become more valuable the more we sit with them. Throughout July and August, I’ll be sharing 10 of those conversations. They explore some of the questions I see leaders wrestling with most: adapting to change, building trust, making better decisions, rethinking work, using AI wisely, and creating organizations ready for what comes next. Whether you are listening for the first time or revisiting these conversations, I hope they help you find an insight you can apply and a question worth thinking about long after the episode ends. —Mahan **Connect with Mahan Tavakoli**: Mahan Tavakoli Website  Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn  Partnering Leadership Website
