Culture Fit Over Skills in Selection Process

The Blue Angels pilots prioritize trust and fitting in well with others over skills when selecting new pilots. They choose their replacements every one to two years based on culture compatibility more than just technical expertise. This emphasis on culture over skills is crucial due to the high level of trust required in their dangerous and precision-demanding maneuvers. Drawing parallels to business hiring, the focus on cultural alignment and the avoidance of arrogance are highlighted as essential for building successful teams.
