The Red Arrows: Lessons in Teamwork with Dan Lowes former Red Arrows pilot

Andy Lopata's guest on this week's Connected Leadership Podcast is former Red Arrows pilot and Executive Officer, Dan Lowes. After years as a fighter pilot in the RAF, Dan attended the prestigious Top Gun School testing new weapons systems, before being accepted as a Red Arrows pilot. He is now a high performance coach sharing the lessons he learned about working with teams to help leaders and others become the best they can be. Dan shares insights on how the Red Arrows integrate new pilots into the team without damaging the trust across the team that is so integral to their success. Andy and Dan discuss training, assessment and continuous improvement; the three most valuable approaches used by the Red Arrows to ensure trust and great teamwork. These techniques are equally relevant in business and elsewhere. They also examine the way the team deals with issues of mental health.
