#11 - The Power of Emotional Intelligence

‘The Power of Emotional Intelligence’

🛫 Uncovering The Aviation Mindset - Episode 11 With Captain Oskar Maliszewski 🛬

 

Summary

Another great aviation friend joins me today in this fascinating conversation.

I first met Oskar when I did freelance cover for him on a Gulfstream 650 while he was the Director Of Flight Ops at a private jet operation in Warsaw, Poland.

Oskar is another one of those tremendously humble individuals who set the bar high in our industry with his commitment to a high level of emotional intelligence, warmth and inclusivity.

I was fortunate to fly with Oskar a few years after meeting.  We took off from London Luton airport in a Gulfstream 650 only to be faced with a main hydraulic failure, which required us to return to the airport immediately.  I was proud of how we both worked together on that occasion, and it was an excellent example of how effectively human beings can operate in unison when employing a healthy mixture of professional skill and emotional intelligence.

In the podcast, we discuss leadership, confidence, and mindset in the aviation industry, and explore the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive environment, particularly in a male-dominated industry. We also discuss the challenges of rebalancing gender representation and the need for empathy and emotional intelligence in leadership.

The conversation highlights the significance of humility, vulnerability, and creating a safe and supportive work environment, as well as the importance of curiosity, reflection, and building trust in fostering effective teamwork and successful outcomes.
