Why Smart Leaders Do Stupid Things

And so the book has this whole airline theme.

I'm just I've always been kind of an aviation fan.

So we have these like black.

black box reflections.

And actually I just ordered a black box from an actual airplane on eBay.

I haven't opened the box yet, but I want to like use it because there's so many times, and especially when we're doing lean work or really trying to like enhance processes and things like that, we have to like pause and say, okay, what worked? What didn't work? What did we learn from it? What did we think we knew? What were the assumptions? Like all of that.

And that's exactly what happens when there's an aviation incident.

It's like, where's the black box? Let's get the black box.

Then you can analyze the voice recorder from the cockpit, all the controls, and you can figure out, okay, what can we learn from it so that we can become better leaders going forward? The point is just as we make changes through our career, it's just important that we pay attention to ourselves and say, okay, what are the things that made us successful? If we continue, they're going to derail us.

And what are some new skills that we need to kind of refine or reshape that can actually accelerate our trajectory and our success as a more senior leader? there's a lot to it there's a lot to it yeah

yeah in fact according to your book and the things you know if if those of you that um are interested the 4l um you i'm sorry your website again uh

l4learningsolutions.com

thank you i knew it wasn't i had them wrong the l4 learning solutions yeah um you talk about the nine leadership vectors and you have a legendary leader I'd love to have you explain the nine leadership vectors for your legendary leader, flight plan, and which one of those typically have the greatest impact on, let's say, execution and team performance.

I'm going to go through this super quick.

I'll show you a picture of it that's in the book.

So this is called the Legendary Leader Flight Plan.

So it's nine vectors.

It's based on tons and tons of research, and I won't get into that.

But basically, All success can be boiled down to these nine vectors.

This is my belief.

And if you really want to go from someone that's like good to someone that's great, or as I say, someone that is maybe smart to someone who's really legendary, there's nine vectors that come into play and they actually spell the word legendary.

So the first is liberation.

And these are not mutually exclusive.

They're not really in an order, but these are just like nine vectors.

So the first one is liberation.
