Today, organizations around the world are facing increasingly complex and fast-changing environments, where agility, adaptability, and people’s engagement are key determinants of success.

In a context marked by rapid technological change, new ways of working, and growing competitive pressure, the need to rethink traditional leadership models has become clear — and to promote a culture in which every individual feels empowered to actively contribute to decision-making processes. The goal of this session is to explore how to foster leadership and engagement at every level of the organization, moving beyond hierarchical structures to build more autonomous, self-aware, and resilient systems.

Leading the discussion will be Captain David Marquet, former U.S. Navy submarine commander and author of the international bestseller Turn the Ship Around!, globally recognized for developing the philosophy of Intent-Based Leadership.

Key discussion points include:

• The principles of Intent-Based Leadership: a model grounded in empowerment and trust that transforms people from passive followers into responsible leaders
• How to distribute control and decision-making to enhance organizational effectiveness, boost morale, and unlock individual potential
• The role of technical competence and organizational clarity as pillars of an environment where everyone can act with autonomy and confidence
• Concrete actions to develop new leaders and build a company culture based on shared growth and sustainable performance.
