Mastermind Project - Episode #16 - Robert "Cujo" Teschner

Former Air Force Top Gun, Rob "Cujo" Teschner, builds on his work as the U.S. Air Force's Subject Matter Expert on the fighter pilot Debrief as an instructor at the renowned U.S. Air Force Weapons School. He's adapted the Air Force high-performing team approach to Debriefing and introduces this process to help organizations achieve their all and build contexts where teams can thrive. Among the many important concepts Rob brings forward, he highlights:

There's a difference between Taskwork and Teamwork, and most organizations are only focused on the Taskwork at the expense of team skills;

Organizations must organize to develop trust; they do this by building Psychological Safety, a condition where people feel safe to talk about the truth;

Leaders have to learn to become vulnerable and admit their faults. Only by leading as they want their teams to act will they inspire people to act the same;

Institutionalizing the practice of debriefing can increase team performance significantly, allowing individuals and organizations to achieve new levels of success.

In the end, the key to an organization's long-term success is its practice of accountability and the degree to which its leaders hold themselves and their teams accountable for the decisions they make. High-performing fighter teams have been practicing this version of accountable leadership since World War I. Debrief to Win is the resource every organization needs in order to start improving NOW. It's also the resource every organization needs to build a context where teams can truly thrive. Debrief to Win is a book that applies to all aspects of human performance, from the boardroom to the dining room, from high-performing professional teams to family teams of only two people. The Debrief is a life skill with far-reaching ramifications. This book offers deep insight into how individuals and organizations can harness this powerful tool for personal and professional gain.

Join the next live event! https://briankmcrae.com/mastermind-st-louis/

The Mastermind Project's mission has always been to bring givers together to grow and learn from each other...we're still committed to this even in this time of social distancing, so we're just moving the show online to Zoom!

We're evolving and continuously learning from this situation just like you, but at the core we plan on forging ahead with the same quality content (tweaked for current times as needed), and featuring panels filled with leaders and implementers in our community selflessly sharing what they've put into action in their business to grow personally and professionally.

At its heart, The Mastermind Project is a shared learning event where big-hearted givers come to add value to others by selflessly sharing their best business building tips and consistently raising the bar for helping others. Nothing has changed about that! Register to join us online.

The Mastermind Project meets online monthly and is a FREE event thanks to our amazing sponsors who lead with generosity by giving the gift of knowledge.

Held from 10:00-11:30a on the 3rd Thursday of each month (except December), the event provides relatable, actionable content including practical wisdom, communication strategies, and tactics for personal and professional growth.

Content for The Mastermind Project centers on helping you build your very own radically referable business, where your ideal clients and strategic partners refer you often, allowing you to provide massive value and win both at work and home.

Sessions answer questions like:

~ How can I become a person of influence within my industry?

~ Can I still maintain my true personality and create a referral network?

~ What can I do to build upon my strengths that will yield results?

~ How can I regain passion for my profession?

~ What communication best practices can improve both my personal & professional relationships?

~ Is it possible to achieve and sustain success without working in, or on, my business 24/7?

"I love that this event dives deeper into the subject matter of referrals. The panels consist of real people who struggled with the same obstacles as everyone else, and implemented changes to their practices that helped turn things around."

"I attended Mastermind yesterday for the 2nd time, and the time I spent with you and so many others was the highlight of my month, professionally. I love the insights that you bring to us from thought leaders and I so appreciate your teaching style. The way you incorporate the activity in with the lesson is so powerful! Thank you so much for creating the event." - David Noble

"I’ve been attending Mastermind St. Louis for almost 5 years. So many people have blessed me personally and professionally through connections made at this event." - Dan Luigs
