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 minutesearlier.

• 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 tofill 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.

Curphy-Roellig Followership Model




Adapted from Robert E. Kelley, ―In Praise of Followers‖ ©

1996 Westview Press




―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 theresponsibilities 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




• 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
