In this episode, Jamie speaks with Tim Solms, CEO Slingshot Aerospace. Tim talks about why culture is the #1 priority for a senior leader and how leaders need to watch out for inadvertently creating drama themselves.  He discusses the importance of “bright lines between clear roles and responsibilities” and how mastering this creates alignment throughout the organization. Tim’s final reminder to us around ownership is poignant, that each of us is not just a culture consumer, but a culture creator. Tim is an outstanding operator who isn’t afraid to share some of the big mistakes on his way to success.

 

In this episode, Jamie refers to Patrick Lencioni’s “First Team” model.
