Pushing Beyond, on the Trails and at Work 🏔️ This weekend, I had the privilege of participating in the Ultra-Trail Harricana (UTHC), an experience that truly tests your physical and mental limits. As I made my way through the mountains, it reminded me that growth happens in discomfort. Whether it’s out in nature or in our work at Pratt & Whitney Canada, our ability to push beyond our limits is what makes us stronger. At Pratt & Whitney Canada, our slogan is “Go Beyond,” and it perfectly reflects what I experienced on the trails. Every challenge, every obstacle overcome, is an opportunity to grow and innovate. This mindset is what drives us to excel every day, to innovate, and to push the boundaries of what we believe is possible. For those of you who share the same DNA, who thrive on pushing yourselves, I encourage you to bring that philosophy here at P&WC. Joint PWC, go to PWC web site and apply!!! It’s in discomfort and effort that we truly surpass ourselves. Whether it’s in endurance races or the aerospace industry, that’s where leaders emerge, and it’s how we continue to go beyond for our customers, our colleagues, and our industry. ✈️ #GoBeyond #UTHC #Leadership #SelfImprovement #Innovation #PrattWhitneyCanada #Perseverance

We witness firsthand the plight of our maritime heroes, who are often overlooked and undervalued. Their sacrifices went unrecognized, and their challenges were amplified by an industry lacking empathy. GMC was our response to this crisis. I, along with esteemed leaders Kaushik Seal, Mohit Kapoor, and Sonali Banerjee, founded the Global Maritime Community (GMC) to address these critical issues. Special thanks to Kaushik for your commitment and dedication to seafarers. GMC is not just another maritime organization. It is a not-for-profit organization. A community to foster a culture of care, respect, and collaboration within the industry. Our approach is unique. Our mission is clear: to inspire, motivate, and empower maritime leaders and seafarers alike. We are crafting a legacy. A legacy that will be remembered for its compassion, its impact, and its dedication to the seafarer. Maritime leaders, managers, and everyone in between can come together, share ideas, and drive positive change. Join us in our journey to transform the maritime industry and make it a place where every seafarer is valued, respected, and celebrated.

Qantas has taken quite a hit to its reputation in recent times. Here's what independent advisor Tom Saar had to say about the company's leadership style: "The group had a ‘command and control’ leadership style with centralised decisions and an experienced and dominant CEO. This contributed to a top-down culture, which impacted empowerment and a willingness to challenge or ‘speak up’ on issues or decisions of concern.” Just underscores the criticality of psychological safety. Without it you don't have a culture of trust; you have a culture of silence. https://lnkd.in/e9AwVeg5

He delayed crucial actions, repeatedly hesitated, and ultimately failed to act when it mattered most. For a CEO, this highlights the importance of making timely and decisive decisions, especially in critical moments. Hesitation can lead to missed opportunities and potential disaster. 💥 Understand Your Environment: The King and Queen underestimated the extent of the changes brought by the French Revolution, particularly in the countryside. They assumed rural areas would still be loyal, not realizing that societal dynamics had shifted drastically. For a CEO, it's crucial to stay informed and understand the evolving landscape of the market, competitors, and customer sentiment. Assumptions based on outdated information can be dangerous. 💥 Adaptability and Flexibility: The royal family's escape plan failed partly because they clung to their comfort and luxury, using a conspicuous carriage instead of taking a more discreet approach. Leaders need to be adaptable and willing to make sacrifices when navigating crises. Flexibility in approach, even if it means stepping out of comfort zones, is often necessary for survival. 💥 Perception and Communication Are Key: Louis XVI's letter explaining his departure was politically disastrous, confirming his disdain for the revolution. Leaders must be mindful of how their actions and communications are perceived, particularly in times of crisis. Transparency, consistency, and alignment with stakeholders' expectations are critical to maintaining trust. 💥 Importance of Execution: The failure of the royal escape wasn't just due to bad luck but poor execution at multiple levels—planning, timing, and response to unexpected obstacles. For a CEO, meticulous execution of strategies is as important as the strategies themselves. A well-thought-out plan can still fail without precise and effective implementation. 💥 Recognize and Respond to Shifts in Power: The revolution had fundamentally altered power structures, and the King failed to grasp that he no longer wielded control. CEOs must recognize shifts in power dynamics, whether within the organization, market, or broader societal context. A failure to adapt to new realities can result in losing control over the narrative and outcomes. https://lnkd.in/g46eENGA
