Justin “Hasard” Lee is a former fighter pilot, decorated combat veteran and #2 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Art of Clear Thinking. Hasard has flown over 80 combat missions and is the only pilot to fly jets from two different squadrons into combat on the same day, providing critical air support to troops under fire. But his most impactful role wasn’t in combat—it was as Chief of Training Systems for the U.S. Air Force’s largest fighter training base. There he architected a transformation of how the Air Force builds elite teams. The methodology he created trained fighter pilots faster and with higher proficiency, and has since been adopted by air forces worldwide.

SESSION DESCRIPTION
Own the Outcome: A Fighter Pilot’s Framework for High-Stakes Leadership
After a day examining the threats technology has enabled, this session provides the human-centric solution. The most advanced surveillance system is useless without a team of operators who think and act like owners. The critical vulnerability in any organization isn’t technology; it’s the “white space” between teams where problems are passed off and no one owns the result.

Former F-35 fighter pilot Justin “Hasard” Lee reveals the counterintuitive leadership principles that allow fighter squadrons to thrive in chaos. He introduces a simple, powerful operating system to eliminate internal friction and empower your team with a “mission-first” mindset. You will leave with a clear framework to build a culture of decentralized execution, enabling your team to adapt and overcome any threat with clarity and speed.
