The Isle of Man TT and motorcycle road racing events like the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix, the Macau Grand Prix, and the Cookstown 100 are known for their uncompromising brutality and provide some of the greatest highs and the most tragic of lows seen in any sporting field. There are only three possible outcomes for riders: win, lose, or die. It's that basic; it's that savage. Over the years, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing have tackled 'pure roads' events, including Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, and even the great Barry Sheene

The USS Gerald R. Ford is one such moment. It is not merely the largest warship ever built, nor simply the most advanced aircraft carrier in service. It is a convergence of ambition, engineering, and purpose, brought together in a form that moves steadily across the world’s oceans, carrying with it both capability and consequence.

We are the last generation to manage only humans. The next will manage hybrid teams of humans and AI agents. Most leaders are not ready.

Why am I writing this book? Because I believe it’s important to discuss the topic of leadership as it impacts safety. When I’m talking about leadership, I’m talking about leadership at all levels, whether it be your personal leadership skills, the skills you draw on as a leader of teams or as a manager, and also the act of being a visionary who identifies and mentors those who will become our next generation of leaders. Safety can be broken down into physical and psychological safety, both of which are important to the culture of an organization.
