  • From Top Gun to the Boardroom: Trust and Leadership with Captain George Dom
    May 16 2025

    In this insightful conversation, I sit down with Captain George Dom, a retired U.S. Navy officer, to explore the essence of high trust leadership and its pivotal role in building high-performance teams. Captain Dom shares his extensive experience from his distinguished military career, including leading the renowned Blue Angels and teaching at Top Gun. Together, they delve into the principles of trust and how these can be effectively applied both in the military and corporate environments.

    What You'll Learn:

    The Foundation of Trust in Leadership:

    Captain Dom offers a compelling look into his philosophy of trust, outlining five levels of trust that are vital for leadership and team cohesion. He emphasises the need for leaders to earn unconditional trust through consistent behaviour and openness.

    The Power of Effective Communication:

    Discover how clear, concise, and consistent communication helps in building and maintaining trust within teams. Dom and I highlight the importance of mutual understanding, where leaders must ensure they are understood and also convey that they understand their team members.

    The Importance of Debriefing:

    Paul Taylor and Captain Dom discuss the sacred practice of debriefing in aviation and how this routine ensures continuous improvement. This practice, they argue, is crucial not just for safety in aviation but for success in any high-stakes environment.

    Transitioning from Military to Civilian Life:

    Learn about the challenges and opportunities involved in transitioning from a structured military environment to the civilian world, and how the principles of trust and leadership remain relevant across these domains.

    Building High-Performance Teams:

    Through examples from his military career, Captain Dom illustrates how trust is not just a nice-to-have but a strategic imperative for any high-performing team. Whether flying jets or managing corporate teams, the principles remain the same.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Trust is Earned: It's a continuous commitment and starts with leaders demonstrating integrity and reliability.
    • Character and Commitment: These are at the core of trust. Leaders must show they are committed to their teams, especially when challenges arise.
    • Communication is Key: Effective leaders ensure that they communicate clearly with their teams, and also actively seek feedback and understanding.
    • Shared Sacrifice Bonds Teams: Experiencing challenges together can strengthen team bonds and trust.
    • High Trust Leads to High Performance: Trust allows teams to operate more efficiently and effectively, leading to better outcomes.

    Resources:

    For those looking to delve deeper into the concept of high trust leadership or to apply these strategies in their own teams, consider exploring Captain George Dom’s book "High Trust Leadership: Building High-Performance Teams."
