Turn the Ship Around
A warm welcome back to GP, educator and YouTube sensation, Dave Hindmarsh. Today we are going to be talking about Turn the Ship Around, which is a really interesting book about leadership. Don't switch off if you're not interested in leadership, there is so much here that is transferable. And the thing I really enjoyed about To Turn the Ship Around is that it is not a book that is telling you what to do. It is somebody reflecting on their own experiences, somebody thinking about failure, about intelligent failures, thinking about how you can reflect on situations that you have predicted will go one way and that end up going another way.
Dave and I explore how you can learn from that and how you can turn quite a dysfunctional disparate organisation into something that really works, an organisation which people are proud to be part of. And I found that really, really compelling from the perspective of being a leader, from the perspective of being a teacher. And also I think from the perspective of being within an organisation, what it is to have a leader-leader model rather than a leader-follower model. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I've really enjoyed exploring it with Dave.
