This is Steve Preda with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Christian Boucousis, otherwise known as Boo, the CEO of Afterburner, who is helping teams achieve peak performance with elite fighter pilot strategies. Boo, welcome to the show. Hey, Steve. Thanks for having me. I'm super excited to be on the show and also to meet you again. It's going to be a lot of fun. Yeah. And you've got a great Aussie accent, but you are in the United States. So, tell me a little bit about what is your personal “Why,” your personal purpose, and how do you manifest it in your business? And then how did you end up in the United States? Good question. I'm super lucky in that I was kind of gifted with purpose when I was a kid, when I was five. And I think as I get older and I look back, I realized how lucky I was when I went to an air show and saw fighter jets flying for the first time. And I guess for some kids or people that go to those air shows and maybe they're not connected with something they're gonna be, but for me it was, I was always gonna be a fighter pilot. And it only took 16 years, but when I turned 21, I was a fighter pilot. And here I am, only a few weeks away from turning 50, and I'm still donning a flight suit, still talking about fighter pilot stuff. So my “Why” is to translate a way of thinking and a way of working that I was blessed to learn as a fighter pilot, but more specifically applied to business and life. And that's something I've done at a very personal level, founding my own businesses, four of them. And now as the CEO and owner of Afterburner, having acquired this business, which is the fighter pilot mindset, has been teaching fighter pilot methodologies for nearly 29 years around the world. Yeah, that's interesting. So is this just why you moved over here because this business was located here? Absolutely, yeah. If I looked at, I came across a great saying the other day from Gary Brecker and he said, "The pursuit of comfort is what ages us," and if I'm honest, when I was in Australia before I bought Afterburner, I was in a comfort zone, making good money. I'd sold my businesses. COVID was a bit tough, but bounced back. Everything was kind of cool. And this opportunity came up, which was actually at a personal level, a lot more challenging, a lot less comfortable. The company was quite distressed. I kind of made a decision that I'd never want to be a CEO or run a company again. But when I came back to it, I said, I believe in this and I have to spread this as far and as wide as humanly possible. And to acquire this platform was the best way to fulfill that belief. Wow, that is exciting. I love this comfort zone. I like this quote that really made me think about some of the things I discussed with my sister over our vacation and she gave me this advice that, hey, get out of your comfort zone. And sometimes you're a coach and this is what you tell your clients, but the cobbler's sons go bare feet kind of thing and you forget it yourself.

This episode takes you on Boo's extraordinary journey from chasing the thrills of flying combat jets to navigating the uncertainties of business ventures. He shares insights about the profound impact of setting ambitious goals and the value of a resilient mindset in overcoming professional challenges, all while drawing parallels between the disciplines of a fighter pilot and the strategies needed for successful leadership. Ever considered how the lessons learned at 30,000 feet can revolutionize your approach to leadership and teamwork? Boo unveils the seldom-discussed dynamics between leading and following, dissecting the 'leading outcomes' concept where expertise trumps hierarchy, and the 'wingman model,' which advocates for a distinct separation of strategy and execution. The conversation moves from the meticulous, low-stress operations of a pilot to the transformative journey that leads us from chaos to clarity, offering you invaluable lessons on the importance of defined roles and strategic thinking in any organization. This episode hands you the keys to unlock the full potential of your team with a framework consisting of a strategic blend of empowerment and technology that underscores Boo's philosophy. Boo challenges the traditional views on legacy, emphasizing the lasting impact of decisions over accolades or recognition. So, buckle up and prepare for takeoff as Tina & Boo guide you to empower your leadership skills with practical, battle-tested strategies designed to elevate your team's performance to new heights.

Boo walks the talk, having provided leading global organizations such as McDonalds, Zurich, Pfizer, and Microsoft with experiences of immediate and dramatic ongoing performance leaps thanks to his secrets of creating a “Deep Performance Mindset”. Boo is an authority on inclusive and sustainable performance because it's in his DNA. Fulfilling his boyhood dream of becoming a fighter pilot at the age of 21, he transitioned into business after the diagnosis of a crippling auto-immune disease 10 years later. He's reinvented himself numerous times by transforming the ways of thinking and working he acquired as a fighter pilot – and in doing so, has built a humanitarian business turning over in excess of $200 million, developed a $42 million high-rise hotel, transformed an iconic publishing business into a digital publishing powerhouse, and now works with iconic brands and people to implement the methods that drive habitual success. Authoritative and entertaining, Boo equips you, leaders, and teams with a simple framework, which paves a new way of thinking and working together, empowering you to surpass expectations consistently. His unique performance mindset is fuelled by a deep curiosity around what makes us tick as human beings. Boo connects us with our human performance strengths & limitations and navigates you towards the skills needed to evolve at a deeply personal level. Forever.

This week I interview a very fun High Impact Leader, Christian Boucousis who is an ex-fighter pilot who now owns a fantastic team building and speaking company called Afterburner. He is a real-life Top Gun. Just like in the movies, Christian's friends and team members call him by his call sign "Boo."After spending some time with Boo, I'm not sure if the call sign was created as a funny way to scare the enemy or just because his last name was too hard for his team to pronounce, though. (But then again, with a name like Staneart, who am I to talk, right?)During the interview, Boo introduces the concept of "moments" that shape our lives and businesses. He explores how seemingly small decisions, akin to sliding doors, can significantly impact our destinies. We also talk about the critical role that these pivotal moments have in overcoming fear, taking risks, and making investments. He offers insights into creating a strong belief system that guides us to make the right decisions in these crucial moments. Join us for a captivating conversation on the power of influence, purpose, and seizing the right moments.This was a very fun interview that I think you will really enjoy!Connect with Boo at https://callmeboo.com/ or https://www.afterburner.com/christian-boo-boucousis/

This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by an external guest, James D Murphy, a United States Air Force Veteran, F15 Fighter, and instructed pilot. James founded a company called Afterburner Inc. and is now the CEO of Afterburner Capital; he wrote seven books and is an expert on the Agile Delivery Framework.   In this episode, they discuss the concept of flawless execution, meaning an execution that is as impeccable as possible (nothing is perfect!). James shares how he combined his military training with his work as an entrepreneur and expert in the Agile framework.   Key Takeaways Flawless execution can't be perfect; mistakes will take place. Start with simple frameworks that are easy and scalable. Find purposeful tasks and actions. Developing and effectively communicating the purpose of the Team's job is crucially important. Knowing more about the context and details is essential to prioritize the purpose. Intention and vision need to stay connected. The Team needs to be involved in every step of the process. The key to flawless execution is to have a common language to get work done. The truth is more critical than artificial harmony. Teams must foster psychological safety, which means that anyone can feel safe admitting an error without fearing reprimand. Building a safe culture takes time. Flawless execution needs a systematic approach. The system followed must enable good execution as well as flexibility; in this matter, simplicity overpowers complexity. Complexity will decrease performance while augmenting the chance of errors. First is the planning phase (who is going to do what and when). Once it's over, no more brainstorming takes place. After planning, the plan is briefed (repetition of what was planned and the accountabilities that come along with it). Execute! Don't get off track. Debrief as soon as the mission is over. Debriefing is almost as important as the mission itself, leaving a lesson to the entire enterprise, not just a small Team. Is there a gap between the obtained results and what was imagined and expected from the plan? The Team should ask itself, how did the success occur? And why? This entire process must be leader-led. It is the leader who first has to admit his/her mistakes. This transparency and honesty create the much-needed psychological safety at the Tream.
