Head to Head
11 Nov 2025
Although the skies can look vast and empty, things can change fast — especially with a 1,200-mph closing speed and just 1,000 feet of separation.
How quickly did you spot the second inbound aircraft?
Pilots are trained to maintain strong situational awareness — not only noticing what’s around them, but understanding what options exist if conditions change.
That same awareness is a vital leadership skill. Effective leaders continually scan their environment, gather information, and build it into their decision-making.
They stay alert without being reactive, calm without being complacent.
At Flightpath Mentoring, we help people cultivate that same mindset — whether you’re an aspiring pilot or a professional navigating your own leadership journey.
