JJ “Yank” Cummings knows a thing or two about leadership. As a retired Navy captain with over 30 years of service, Cummings flew fighter jets and commanded some of the most advanced warships on the planet. But his approach to leadership is not what you might expect from a Top Gun pilot.
Cummings believes leadership is about showing your team you truly care. It’s not about barking orders or micromanaging every detail. For Cummings, leadership is a constant commitment to making human connections and showing your people they matter. As he describes it, good leaders are empathetic, caring and compassionate.
