Aviators are trained to understand the dynamics of flight. What does that mean? And why does it resonate so harmoniously with business leaders?
Think about this: Critical to flight is Situational Awareness - understanding exactly the complex ecology of power, weight, balance, weather, altitude, speed, communications, inputs and outcomes and the overall capability of the aircraft itself. And right at the heart of the success of the flight, is the pilot. Ultimately it comes down to the capability and performance of people - the Human Factor. That’s why there is so much focus in Aviation on training people, and maximising their performance in every situation. Sounds a lot like leading a business, right?
