Edith Wharton said “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” So when you think of dynamic duos, we contemplate of the power of two and this is exactly what you get with Michael and Juliette McGannon. The husband and wife team have created high-powered, impactful workshops, which they deliver worldwide. Since 1988, they have listened to more than 125,000 managers who told them to make their seminars simple, effective and good fun. They have developed extremely useful tools and strategies for keeping modern managers at the peak of their game.
I met them last year at one of their workshops and what really struck me was their very humane, caring and pragmatic approach. I am very grateful to them both that they found the time to be interviewed.
I hope you enjoy their interview as much as I did!

David Marquet is an expert on Leadership and Innovation and bestselling author of Turn The Ship Around, a True Story of Turning Followers Into Leaders.
U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Captain Marquet served in the U.S. submarine force for 28 years. After being assigned to command the nuclear powered submarine USS Santa Fe, then ranked last in retention and operational standing, he realized the traditional leadership approach of “take control, give orders,” wouldn’t work. So he literally “turned his ship around” by treating the crew as leaders, not followers, and giving control, not taking control. This approach took the Santa Fe from “worst to first,” achieving the highest retention and operational standings in the navy.
After retiring from the Navy in 2009, David speaks to those leaders who want to create empowering work environments that release the passion, initiative, and intellect of each person. His bold and highly effective framework is summarized as “give control, create leaders.”
