Intent-Based Leadership
Shift the organizational culture from permission and waiting, to intent and action
Leaders don’t have to have all the answers
When we, as leaders, stop feeling like we must know everything to “get people to do the right things,” we can focus on decentralizing decision making instead. Giving control while increasing competence and clarity leads to more engaged people who make smart decisions, feel ownership and take responsibility.
Nudge people into new behaviors
goAgile helps organizations introduce and implement Intent-Based Leadership, a paradigm where team members come to the leader describing what they see, what they think, and what they intend to do. The purpose is to learn and practice a very hands-on, behavioral-based approach to creating leaders at every level to increase effectivity, eliminate impediments that get in the way of doing smart
work, give control while enhancing clarity and competence to increase motivation, and take advantage of the thinking power of each employee every day.
Organizations implementing Intent-Based Leadership increase performance, well-being, and employee satisfaction. Intent-Based Leadership is focused on proven mechanisms, backed up by neuroscience, to nudge people into new behaviors.

Turn the Ship Around
The origin of Intent-Based Leadership
Intent-Based Leadership was developed by L. David Marquet, a former U.S. Navy submarine captain. The concept originated during his command of the USS Santa Fe, where he shifted the traditional leader-follower model to a leader-leader approach. Instead of giving orders, Marquet empowered his crew to take ownership and make decisions, enhancing engagement and performance. Intent-Based Leadership emphasizes giving control and creating leaders at every level of the organization.
