The Influential Leader - Leading with Integrity - a Conversation with with Bill Sullivan of Salesforce
Bill Sullivan served as a jet and helicopter pilot with the United States Air Force for 24 years, completing four combat tours in the Middle East as a member of Air Combat Command and Air Force Special Operations Command. Bill then transitioned from the military to the corporate world as a sales leader and in this podcast he provides fascinating insights into this transition and how he is using all of his leadership training and experience to be the best leader he can be to his team and his organisation.
Some golden nuggets from our conversation include:-
The Man In The Glass – the Poem Bill referred to in the Podcast
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.
