Everyone needs to understand the organization\u2019s goals so that the decisions they make align with what the organization is trying to accomplish. If the purpose isn\u2019t clear, the criteria on which decisions are made may be off base, leading to bad decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the mechanisms <em>Santa Fe<\/em> adopted to ensure clarity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Focus on achieving excellent results, not on rotely following procedures in order to avoid errors.<\/li><li>Take care of your team. When you support your team and put their interests first, you build trust and motivation.<\/li><li>Be inspired by your organization\u2019s legacy. Create a sense of mission by connecting present efforts with the past accomplishments.<\/li><li>Create guiding principles to aid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a>.<\/li><li>Immediately recognize excellent performance.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/habit-2-begin-with-the-end-in-mind-7-habits\/\">Begin with the end in mind<\/a>: Set long-term goals.<\/li><li>Encourage questions, not blind obedience.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to Deploy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Santa Fe<\/em> was ready to deploy, two weeks early. They would head west and make a stop in Japan, then operate in the western Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Sea before returning to Pearl Harbor six months later. Besides delivering an outstanding performance, Marquet wanted to focus during the deployment on addressing some needs of the crew.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officers and chiefs decided to encourage each crew member to set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/examples-of-development-goals\/\">personal development goals<\/a> during the deployment, such as studying or exercising. In addition, the senior staff set ship-wide goals. They understood the importance of supporting your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For continuous improvement during the deployment, they set goals for the ship in three areas: empowerment, efficiency, and tactical excellence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Empowerment<\/strong>: Senior staff planned to empower crew members to achieve their personal and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/professional-development-goals\/\">professional goals<\/a> through education initiatives, such as helping them to improve their advancement exam scores or take college courses.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Efficiency<\/strong>: While the crew gained more control, they would strive for greater efficiency in everything they did, ranging from more effective drills to better meal service.<\/li><li><strong>Tactical excellence<\/strong>: <em>Santa Fe <\/em>would pursue tactical excellence, including battle group support, effective missile strikes, and special operations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mechanism: Take Care of Your Team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the most recent round of advancement exams, <em>Santa Fe<\/em> crew members hadn\u2019t done well. While Marquet and the officers focused on preparing the submarine for deployment, they hadn\u2019t helped the crew prepare for the exams\u2014exam scores were a major factor in promotions. Marquet felt they\u2019d let the crew down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides increasing training in areas of the test where the crew had done poorly, they decided to create a practice exam for petty officers. They asked petty officers to write multiple choice questions as they studied to encourage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/active-learning-methods\/\">active learning<\/a>. Senior staff incorporated the questions into the practice exam as well as into ongoing training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The efforts to improve exam performance paid off months later. One of the petty officers advanced, as did 40 percent of the enlisted crew (48 men). Results were even better in the next two years. By giving the crew members tools to improve on the exams, senior staff empowered them to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Supporting your team\u2014taking care of your people\u2014is a mechanism for clarity. <\/em><\/strong>Marquet found that when officers and chiefs supported their teams, they developed trust.
