💭 Are you ready to gather a flight log of strategic insights from a former fighter pilot?
Christian 'Boo' Boucousis is a former fighter pilot who now commands the boardroom as CEO of Afterburner, helping organisations to take an approach of a fighter pilot in developing leaders.
Our conversation takes flight as Boo shares his journey from an aspiring aviator to a seasoned jet jockey, revealing how the very skills that kept him sharp in the skies now fortify the foundations of corporations. He marries the adrenaline of aerial combat with the acumen of executive strategy, all while dismantling the myth that ADHD is a barrier to success—in fact, it might just be the jet fuel for excellence.
Unlike the solo flights of fame that define professional sports, Boo outlines a world where collective success trumps individual accolades, where every mission's outcome hinges on seamless collaboration. We navigate through life-or-death decision-making, distilling the essence of fighter pilot wisdom into lessons on agility, resilience, and the art of sustainable high performance without burnout—a blueprint for any professional aiming to reach new heights.
