Christian "Boo" Boucousis is the CEO of Afterburner and a former fighter pilot for the Royal Australian Air Force. In our discussion he talks about his personal history, the key components of the training fighter pilots go through, and how the leadership traits developed through this training apply in every environment.
What you will hear are not the trite stereotypes about toughness we usually hear when people talk about applying military principles to corporate leadership. You will hear about outcome focused leadership, self-awareness, credibility, trust and approachability. And at the end of the conversation Boo also shared a couple of practices you can start immediately to apply those principles to your own leadership.
