Here's a riddle from George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones": "In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the names of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me—who lives and who dies?” In the next deep-dive article on "Strategy Safari", we are going to explore the captivating subject of power. Want to know the answer to the riddle and how it relates to strategic management?

The family and I had the opportunity yesterday to hang out with my wingman, Maverick, and take in the Fargo AirSho, one of my favorite events when it rolls around every other summer! Here are 10 great quotes from the 1986 classic, Top Gun, that remind me of some key leadership and business principles. ✈ "You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead." - Be decisive and get so good at what you do that you rarely have to think about the execution - it's natural. ✈ "It's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." - Value confidentiality in business and never burn trust with others. ✈ "I feel the need...the need for speed!" - Embrace the need for urgency when necessary. ✈ "You can be my wingman anytime." - Support your team and others. You'll always go further with others. ✈ "It's not the plane, it's the pilot." - Hone your skills to the point that you have ultimate trust in them. ✈ "There are no points for second place." - Always strive for excellence. ✈ "Because I was inverted." - Commit to being disciplined and doing the hard things. ✈ "You never leave your wingman." - Loyalty toward those you trust and have proven themselves is vital. ✈ "Your ego is writing checks your body can't cash." - Push beyond your limits. ✈ "I don't trust you because you're dangerous." - Be open and honest with others. #leadership #businesslessons #topgun #fargoairsho #aviation #fargo #aviationindustry #aerospace #flying #aircraft #patrickmetzger

Stop building someone else’s dream … Is the wrong narrative. Building something worth dreaming about takes a team (even solopreneuers have people that support them.) If you have that attitude, how are you going to convince someone else to help you build your dream? Get out of the stands and into the arena. If you’re unhappy where you are at, find or build a team with a dream that excites you. Right now, my team supports Marines that help keep America free so we can all chase whatever dream we want.

Self-entitlement refers to a personality behavior characterized by an inflated and pervasive sense of deservingness, self-importance, and exaggerated expectations to receive special treatment or recognition without reciprocating or earning it. It involves believing that one deserves something simply because of who they are, rather than their actions or achievements. #AIRLINETRAVEL #NEWARKAIRPORT #WESTPALMBEACH #MIAMI #JFKAIRPORT #AMERICANAIRLINES #SELFAWARENESS
