James Woodruff, District Field Manager at the Federal Aviation Administration, has learned leadership skills so many places: The FAA where he’s served many years. The Navy. And as a high school teacher. And yet his best leadership lessons (he believes) came from a job he landed as a teenager managing the bussers and servers at a thriving country club in his Kansas rural community. Hollywood stars and musicians of the day came there to dance and dine.
In our interview, we hear from James, who’s entering into a leadership training role with the FAA, how clear communication becomes key as we lead. Also, the best lessons and training cam come from the funnest, most nostalgic times of our youth.
