In Episode 4 of Lead The Future, I spoke with Wayne Monteith, Associate Administrator, Commercial Space Transportation. In our discussion, Wayne shares multiple stories from his 29 years in the United States Air Force that provide great leadership lessons. His powerful experience during Hurricane Matthew challenges leaders to question which tasks they feel are important but can actually delegate in order to focus on the activities that bring true value.
Wayne shares fascinating lessons from space travel that help leaders anticipate the challenges of “re-entry” into the workplace.
“Coming back from the space station is not only coming back to a different world, but you are different. I think we’re going to be different as we reintegrate back into some type of normal traditional setting and I think its important for us to realize that not only the environment has changed.”
