All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett

Today is Day THREE of Battleship Week and our guest was none other than the first female F-14 Tomcat pilot, Carey Lohrenz. She was generous enough to share her thoughts about lessons learned from the cockpit in a keynote address earlier. Carey shares the practical principles she learned in the Navy and how it all relates to business. Find out why she says 80% is good enough, how a cocktail napkin can save your business, how it’s OK to feel fear, and the importance of a debrief is good for the entire team.That’s just a sampling of the lessons Carey offered business-people at every level of the organization. There’s something in this keynote for every member of your team.Interested in joining the C-Suite Network?
