About this listen
When Brigadier General John "Dragon" Teichert took command of legendary Edwards Air Force Base, it was characterized by a choking complacency. It was operating on autopilot when it needed to be in afterburner.
It was at this hallowed ground of aerospace history where a different type of test took place, providing the ideal evaluation of a concept that transcended jet planes and rockets. It created a stunning culture of innovation, breaking the barriers of bureaucracy and dwarfing the innovation activity of the rest of the Air Force combined.
In this book, Teichert fuses the ubiquitous topics of leadership and innovation, written by a leader to leaders! It powerfully weaves together traditional leadership principles with unorthodox innovation tactics to spur success.
It is jam-packed with fascinating aviation analogies, little-known stories of Chuck Yeager, intriguing tales from the highest visibility base on the planet, internationally impactful activities in war-torn Iraq, and compelling real-life applications. It takes the listener along on a massively effective innovation journey while offering a roadmap for replication.
