🚁✈️ The most decisive word often missing from a pilot’s vocabulary is “no.” This principle is crucial not only in aviation but also in business. Learning to say "no" can accelerate your development and decision-making skills. When “no” is the correct answer, it is the only answer.

As we embark on a new year, I continuously reaffirm on three timeless principles that have been my guiding light through various situations. 1️⃣ "Keep it simple, stupid." Simplicity, as emphasized by Kelly Johnson, the lead engineer at Lockheed Skunk Works, fosters clarity and paves the way for success. 2️⃣ "The simplest explanation is usually the best." Occam's Razor, linked to William of Ockham, reminds us to focus on the essentials and what truly holds significance. 3️⃣ "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Often credited to Albert Einstein, this quote urges us to embrace change and innovation for progress. As we embrace another year of growth, learning, and problem solving, lets think about these principles, striving for simplicity, clarity, and experimenting new approaches to the challenges that lie ahead. Here's to a 2025 full of inspiration, success, and meaningful progress for y'all! #HappyNewYear #EngineeringLeadership #GuidingPrinciples #Innovation #2025Goals

4️⃣ Murphy’s Law “What can go wrong will go wrong." Super overlooked! Undermined by engineers at all levels, from junior to principal and I will even argue at Executive Level . As we embrace another year of growth, learning, and problem solving, let’s keep a fourth guiding principle in mind . “What can go wrong will go wrong." , Doesn’t mean we become pessimists; instead, it motivates us as engineers to  think outside of the box for the things that can go sideways. In the engineering world, this awareness is key for building strategic and adaptable solutions and also our PMs appreciate for risk management! Here’s to a 2025 full of inspiration, success, and meaningful progress for y’all!
