The licensed Global Partner
IBLI is the licensed global partner for Intent-Based Leadership and the Leader-Leader approach developed by David Marquet.
The story of a captain who stopped giving orders, and the crew of US Navy nuclear submarine that went from the worst to the best, is told in the compelling Turn the Ship Around! and its companion Leadership is Language.
"I don't know of a finer model of empowering leadership."
Dr. Stephen R. Covey • Foreword, Turn the ship Around!
In 2014 David Marquet published his story of the transformation of the USS Santa Fe in Turn the Ship Around!. Since then thousands of leaders and organization have been inspired by the vision that the Intent-Based Leadership can break the traditional model of leadership and release the intellectual capacity of teams and people to pursue greatness.
Our job is simple. We are here to help you make that happen.

02 • The Method
Change led by colleagues will always outlast change led by consultants.
Our job is to transfer our knowledge and skills to your team. The best outside facilitiator can explain Intent-Based Leadership well - but they can't lead a conversation about what it means for this team, in this business, the way one of your own people can.
IBL Facilitator
Your people, helping other learn to lead with Intent.
Field Coach
Working in real time, in real meetings, to help teams embed the language and practices of Intent.
03 • The Pathway
Introducing IBL U, the Portal for Intent-Based Leadership. The system that builds your internal leaders.
Developed by engineers, these logical and common sense methods are supported by well established research on motivation and behavior. Following the interest generated by Turn the Ship Around!, David Marquet brought further insight and practices into the Intent-Based approach through his subsequent books, Leadership Is Language, and Distancing.
With over 10 years of experience helping leaders apply Intent-Based Leadership, we have now brought this ground breaking practice together to create IBL U, a comprehensive set of resources which puts control of your learning and change in the hands of the people who know your business best.
