The "Hero Leader" is a myth. In the cockpit, the pilot who needs to be the hero is a liability. That ego doesn't just jeopardize the mission—it gets people killed. Your goal isn't to be the indispensable hero. It's to build an indispensable team. #OwnTheOutcome #Leadership

A great team is defined by collective ownership of the white space. They don't just do their job; they own the outcome. They practice "One Team, One Fight." What's the biggest challenge getting your teams to work together?

The 'white space' is the gap between those experts where ownership dies. It's where a customer gets caught in the crossfire between a sales team that over-promised and an ops team that couldn't deliver. The mission fails, even if no single task did.

There's a silent killer of momentum in most organizations. I call it corporate friendly fire. Here's what that means: 🧵

100%. In a fighter squadron, reliability isn't a differentiator—it's the bedrock of survival. We learned you don't just hope for reliable people; you build a system that manufactures it. Our tools: Standardized procedures and brutally honest, blame-free debriefs. The system guarantees the standard.

You can carve out a very good career simply by being the most reliable person on the team. You would not think that always showing up on time, hitting every deadline, and responding quickly and professionally to all communication would be such a differentiator, but these traits are always in short supply.

The article is a great deep dive into the "clear thinking" part of the equation. You can read the full, open-access piece on Zero Hedge here:tinyurl.com/7khd7t6t #Leadership #OwnTheOutcome (3/3)

Honored that the ideas from "The Art of Clear Thinking" were featured in The Epoch Times & Zero Hedge. But clear decisions are only half the battle. The real breakthrough is building a culture where teams Own the Outcome™. (1/3)

@Rux_Dacoromana Sounds like I’d enjoy reading your thesis!

How to make your intense research work day cool and enjoyable: - study and model complex systems with drawings and diagrams ✅ - play Top Gun Opening theme on repeat ✅ - figure out how to cite @hasardlee in your thesis ✅ - use your fountain pens for brainstorming ✅

It was so great to discuss the intersection of human and AI decision-making at the AI Trailblazers event in NYC. In an era where AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, the ability to make clear, decisive decisions is more crucial than ever. Congrats to @ashahnet, @shivsingh, @GK_ventures, and the team for putting on an incredible event. #AITrailblazers #innovation #AI #decisionmaking #future

@GK_ventures It was fantastic to join you at the AI Trailblazers summit

First batch of photos from our AI Trailblazers summit are coming in Phenomenal to have fighter pilot & best selling author @hasardlee join us yesterday

@adriancmp__ Did you get a sticker? If not, DM me your address

I was the first to get this right, looks like ill be getting an F-35 sticker from @hasardlee 👀

Cobra Z vs Apache. Which one are you taking?

Getting in a slightly different type of flying. Guess the aircraft..

@bilalsarimeseli @usairforce Agreed. I'm glad I paid attention in my physics classes

Given: More difficult landing, smaller runway, more weight “The added weight meant our approach speed would be faster than normal, putting even more stress on our brakes” This could be a great Newton’s laws question. #physics #books by Thanks @hasardlee from @usairforce

@rpetty @AndyStumpf77 Thanks @rpetty. I hope you enjoy it

@SandyinKY1 @EdmondsKozma Those fighter pilots were a different breed. It's amazing with they did and endured. Nickel on the grass for your father.

@EdmondsKozma @hasardlee @hasardlee This struck me today. My dad was an F-105 pilot, shot down in Vietnam and spent 5 years as a POW. I wish I had the maturity when he came home to have these kinds of conversations with him. Unfortunately he is no longer here to try now.
