Customer Reviews

Great correlation between business leadership and piloting.

John Magness does a tremendous job of relating the skills required to be sucessful in a business environment to the skills learned and mastered as a military helicopter pilot. The correlation is amazingly useful as a tool to simplify a businessman's perspective on how to prioritize those tasks which are mission critical, and also those which are not. The material is presented in a very easy-to-relate, entertaining fashion. I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience, as well as the lessons learned.

Effective leadership principles

Pilot Vision is one of those books that is powerpacked with a handful of principles that when applied to your own personal leadership will powerfully leverage your effectiveness. It reads quickly and stays interesting. Magness makes some great metaphores with his experience as a combat pilot with the legendary "Nightstalkers". I enjoyed this book because after reading each chapter I was able to walk back into my office and apply the principles to my daily leadership.

America needs leaders. This book provides a great model.

Definately some good hints on leadership, achievement and staying focused. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others looking for a fresh perspective.
