David Marquet's book, Leadership is Language: The Hidden Power of What You Say and What You Don't really struck a chord with me on how managers communicate and what outcomes result. Marquet uses the sinking of the El Faro cargo ship as his case study and shares fascinating details about how people of authority speak and how that influences the people on their team. 

In this episode, I give insight into ways managers can leave space in conversations to allow for a less-directive atmosphere, one that is inclusive and gives space for healthy debate and team contribution.
