Robert Teschner was formerly an Air Force “Top Gun” jet pilot, instructor and commander, flying both the F-15 and the F-22. He’s also a consultant, speaker and the author of “Debrief to Win: How America's Top Guns Practice Accountable Leadership...and How You Can, Too!” Today he talks to Commander Divine today about the importance of the Debrief. Robert had an exceptional military career, and is also a survivor of colon cancer. He explains how if he’d been using the same kind of Debriefing technique with himself as he used regularly in the Air Force, he would have been able to manage and minimize cancer’s impact.

The Air Force Debrief is very intense and focuses on four main topics:

• Intensive understanding and investigation of what actually happened
• Root cause analysis and recognition that it might be leadership rather than just an individual mistake
• Formulate a plan to succeed or correct
• Memorializing your process – one page synopsis so that you can duplicate your process

Listen to this episode to hear how Debriefing can work both for business and personal success.
