Publisher's summary

An F-14 fighter pilot's top lessons for leading fearlessly - and bringing a team to peak performance

As an aviation pioneer, Carey D. Lohrenz learned what fearless leadership means in some of the most demanding and extreme environments imaginable: the cockpit of an F-14 and the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Here, her teams had to perform at their peak - or lives were on the line. Faltering leadership was simply unacceptable. Through these experiences, Lohrenz identified a fundamental truth: high-performing teams require fearless leaders.

Since leaving the Navy, she's translated that lesson into a new field, helping top business leaders, from Fortune 500 executives to middle managers, supercharge performance in today's competitive business environments. In Fearless Leadership, Lohrenz walks you through the three fundamentals of real fearlessness - courage, tenacity, and integrity - and then reveals fearless leadership in action, offering advice on how to set a bold vision, bring the team together (as wingmen, not Top Gun mavericks), execute effectively, and stay resilient through hard times.

Whether you're stepping into your first leadership role or looking to get out of a longstanding rut, Fearless Leadership will act like your afterburner - rocketing you to ever-higher levels of performance.

Great life lessons

This book had great life lessons and I learned a lot. It was a little hard to listen to for me since she was a little monotone through the story. She is a BEAST though and I’m honored to have read her book!

Backstory backs the message

I had the privilege of first hearing the author in person. The book is written and story told in a way that weaves leadership lessons together with important life lessons into her story of achieving a dream and overcoming adversity through resilience (and optimism.) I very much enjoyed this, and found it best taken in small bits. Thank you for your service, Mrs. Lorenz!

Outstanding fearless approach 

Carey did a great job with discussing how leaders can be fearless. My issue, however, as a retired Naval flight surgeon is that there are quite a few instances where leadership, both military and civilian, will punish fearless leaders, even when the fearless leaders are right. I would love to see how she negotiates through these processes. 
Nevertheless, I appreciate the reminders on how to increase my team's resilience and productivity, especially in the face of severe adversity. Her reminders have definitely improved my new team's dynamics.

Intriguing life experience

I like the way she tells her stories with her vocal variety that makes it enjoyable listening to her audiobook. An inspiration to be fearless in male dominant career.

Fantastic!

This was exactly what I had been looking for in a leadership book. The military offers so many opportunities to learn about effective and impactful leadership. I found every chapter extremely engaging and began immediately thinking of ways I could challenge myself to be a fearless leader. I really like how the book broke down very specific ideas/principles on leadership and exactly how to apply them. This book was a recommendation from a friend that saw Carey speak in person and while I am so grateful they shared the book with me, I am now quite jealous I did not get to see her speak in person as well. Highly recommend this book!

right on the money

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It is incredible how the author managed to sum up so well the things I do and try to improve upon every day. She has organized what I have implemented from life in the trenches. Well done.

Very attractive.

I like this book for its female perspectives and it reveals several dialogues on how leadership should be approached. I also liked how she made this book very easy to follow and understand.

A great read

Love all the practical lessons on leadership in this book and the brutal honesty about issues that happen due to gender. I love the example she set for women who are going through similar frustrations in their career.

Great Book

I was initially hesitant, as I figured this would be a book all about “girl power”, but I was pleasantly surprised. This book was fantastic and I really enjoyed it! Carey had her fair share of struggle and accomplishment and was able to overcome it all. Carey does a great job with the audio performance and the material was great and practical. Highly recommend!

Shout out to the Brian Buffini podcast for bringing me here :)

Inspiring

This book is an inspiration and well worth the read. It's uplifting and would give anyone struggling with their circumstances some needed courage to carry on. In the face of adversity, it discusses how to be courageous, persevere and have the highest integrity doing so. She delivers a fantastic performance that comes from the heart. She truly is a fearless leader. Thanks, Carey!
