We heard a former Navy Lieutenant and F-14 Fighter Pilot talk about fearless leadership and relentless focus.
How can an aircraft carrier with 100% staff turnover every 18 months and an average crew age of 19.5 years old function? Because they have a singular focus on the safe launching and recovery of planes.
It’s a complete clarity of purpose that makes the difference, especially when things get scary. She says “Fearless leadership isn’t the absence of fear, but the ability to move decisively and with bold action in the face of it.”
In honor of the upcoming Chicago Air & Water Show, here is a picture from our office:
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. ~ Dale Carnegie
