The most difficult mindset shift I had to make was when I transitioned from flying USAF jets to leading formations of special operations helicopter aircrew. Prior to that transition, my mindset was "I need to get things done"...I was accomplishing the mission with my jet and my wingmen. After that transition, I came to realize the special operations mission was too complicated for me to lead from a position of "doing and telling." I had to transition from that mindset to one of creation...creating an environment of learning with common mental models, processes, and building leadership potential across my entire team. My thinking had to change from "I am responsible for getting things done" to "I get results by and through our people working in a great environment that I create and build." I had to accept that despite my Air Force Academy degree, my years of flying jets and my rank, I was probably not the smartest person in my crew of 6, some who were literally a couple years out of high school. I'll be honest...it was a humbling experience. Even after my mindset shift started, I took about 1-2 years for my ego and my behaviors to catch up. However, once I saw the world differently, I had only one choice: align my ego and behaviors with my new vision. I had to be smart enough to know that I wasn't the smartest person in the aircraft or formation and had to be smart enough to know my job was to create the environment that brought the best out in our people. Lead with a new mindset and give yourself relief. You are no longer responsible for getting things done. You are responsible for results, but you will not achieve results by telling and doing...you achieve results by creating and building. Create and build a culture of respectful truth and success by helping your people instill high quality, consistent, and repeatable processes and common mental models while developing leadership potential in your teams. You will achieve more than you expected...and you will come to respect more fully the people who work for you as you release their full potential.

This is good to see. Process and efficiencies are important, but I too often see companies focus on these to the exclusion or detriment of the "people" stuff. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face: engagement and culture are big drivers of competitive advantage, high performance, and high returns.

In today's fast-paced business landscape, engagement and workplace culture are not just buzzwords—they're essential drivers of productivity, especially for small and midsize businesses. According to the latest Vistage Worldwide, Inc. CEO Confidence Index, a staggering 79% of CEOs are actively investing in these areas. This statistic speaks volumes about the shift in leadership priorities. Leaders are recognizing that a strong, supportive environment is crucial for fostering growth and innovation. When teams feel engaged and valued, they’re more likely to go above and beyond, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. So, how are you investing in your team's productivity? Are you creating a culture where accountability and vulnerability thrive? As a Vistage Florida CEO Chair, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of peer-driven environments. When leaders come together to share their challenges and insights, they unlock a collective wisdom that fuels progress. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about nurturing relationships and fostering trust. This is where high-impact accountability comes into play. By setting clear goals and encouraging open dialogue, we can drive meaningful change within our organizations. I invite you to reflect on your own practices. What steps are you taking to enhance engagement and culture in your workplace? Let’s continue this conversation.
