Leadership Lessons from the USAF • It's a good landing if you can still get the doors open. • Always remember that you fly an airplane with your head, not your hands. • Never let an airplane take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier. • If it's red or dusty don't touch it. • Don't drop the aircraft in order to fly the microphone. • You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck. • You can only tie the record for flying low. • If you must make a mistake, make it a new one. • Will Rogers never met a fighter pilot.

Adapted from Robert E. Kelley, “In Praise of Followers” © 1996 Westview Press Un.

“Followership is a discipline of supporting leaders and helping them to lead well. It is not submission, but the wise and good care of leaders, done out of a sense of gratitude for their willingness to take on the responsibilities of leadership, and a sense of hope and faith in their abilities and potential. ” — Reverend Paul Beedle “A follower shares in an influence relationship among leaders and other followers with the intent to support leaders who reflect their mutual purposes. ” — Rodger Adair “Followers are more important to leaders than leaders are to followers. ” __ Barbara Kellerman Un.

• Any organization will only be as successful as those at the bottom are willing to make it. -- General Bill Creech • Think big about what you can achieve; think small about how to achieve it. That’s because you get things done through individuals and small groups of individuals. -- General Bill Creech • No executive has ever suffered because his subordinates were strong and effective. -- Peter Drucker “The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. ” — Helen Keller Un.
