About this title

Synopsis

Through the actions of fictional student pilots and instructors, the authors demonstrate the leadership skills that they've seen through decades of firsthand experience, translated from the cockpit to the business world. It's a novel technique--think Stephen Covey meets Top Gun--that keeps readers engaged in the message and shows rather than tells how the best leaders operate. Each chapter ends in a debrief that distills the lessons from the previous pages and confronts the reader with perspective changing questions.

The Pilot is punctuated with concise, focused discussions of practical applications that leaders at all levels can begin to use immediately. Readers will find it an invaluable how-to on specific techniques that help them perform flawlessly under extreme pressure in any situation.
