While waiting for the final inspection report, he discussed his concerns with department heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They identified several possible reasons for the insufficient initiative. The primary one was a lack of clear communication in the workplace, particularly informal verbal communication. For instance, no one gave a heads up that the time to download the radio broadcast was approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The department heads decided to actively encourage clear communication in the workplace and call it \u201cthinking out loud.\u201d <\/strong>When the captain made a decision, he\u2019d go through his thought processes and reasons out loud. Officers would think out loud about concerns. While this might seem like indecisiveness, it would create a more resilient (less error-prone) system. This particular practice of clear communication in the workplace enhanced teamwork and smooth operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Above-Average Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Commodore Kenny returned to the submarine and reported that the crew had earned an above-average rating. Further, he pronounced <em>Santa Fe<\/em> \u201ca new ship,\u201d thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/leader-leader-model\/\">leader-leader<\/a> model of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/decentralize-authority\/\">decentralizing control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Santa Fe\u2019s<\/em> above-average rating exceeded the mathematical average for the fleet. Marquet broadcast the news to the crew and could hear cheering in response. He cited specific examples of crew initiative and competence, and cited officers for their initiative as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While everyone wasn\u2019t on board with the leader-leader model yet, enough people were using the three-name rule and \u201cI intend to\u201d statements to create a new impression of <em>Santa Fe<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success lent credibility to the leader-leader model and laid a foundation they could build on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mechanism: Think Out Loud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Thinking out loud is a mechanism for decentralizing control <\/em><\/strong>because when Marquet knew what his officers were thinking, it was easier for him to keep quiet and let them do their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking out loud goes against Navy training and culture, which says that when reporting something up the chain of command, you should say as little as possible.
