Yes, it is a delicate space in which to operate, but it is also the optimal location to best use Pilot Vision. Remember, pilots use their vision to control what enters their flight environment. As a Pilot-Leader, you can use vision to control the operating environment through which you lead your team. A vision is not a mission statement and not a set of goals, although missions and goals flow from vision. For a Pilot-Leader to have vision, there must be a capability to visualize what is desired for both the leader and the team.
Vision is a combination of belief, experience and hard work.
Without vision, a pilot stays on the ground. Without a vision, a leader yields the skies to others. For pilots it is important to position themselves mentally ahead of the aircraft, anticipating obstacles and providing solutions before a problem occurs. If a pilot gets behind the aircraft, the aircraft begins to dictate the pilot's response instead of the other way around. The only way to prevent this is to stay ahead of the aircraft.
