 Nothing gets me more excited than carrying out a mission exactly to plan. Whether flying a jet fighter sortie, delivering a keynote, making a cold call, or successfully bluffing at poker, when things go flawlessly, it just feels great!

Check Six - Mutual Support and Communication in Business
waldo_yourwingman
by waldo_yourwingman  8-28-2009   
 Fighter pilots train in an environment of mutual support and always check each other’s six for the unseen threat. And when our wingmen call out break right to avoid the missiles, we never question their judgment. We act because we trust each other. We act because this is what we’re trained to do.

ENGAGED vs. SUPPORTING: What's your Business Role?
waldo_yourwingman
by waldo_yourwingman  7-30-2009   
 Many of you have heard me emphasize that no fighter pilot ever flies a combat mission solo. We always fly as a team – with our wingmen. It’s impossible to win solo because the missions are very complex and change so rapidly.

 Picture this – You’re on a combat mission in the no-fly zone in southern Iraq at 19,000 feet. Your wingman is 2 miles away directly to your left. Suddenly, you hear him scream over the radio. “Break Right, Break Right! Missile launch your 6 O’clock!!”

 When your squadron commander meets you at your jet, it’s normally not a good sign. “Waldo, we need to talk,” he said as he headed for the aircraft hangar. Had I messed up? Was I in trouble? I gulped. Was something wrong at home?

TUMBLEWEED: Building Trust through Effective Communication

by waldo_yourwingman  7-23-2009   
 Lack of communication can take the most carefully laid plans and destroy them with the corrosion of doubt. It can transform the most confident person into a “second-guesser” and that’s bad for everyone on your team.

by waldo_yourwingman  7-21-2009   
 If you want to test the true character of a person, see how they respond to adversity. Watch how they handle the pressure of a lost sale, an angry client, or a difficult boss. What do they say? How do they act? What is their emotional state?
