Description

Attaining the Unattainable Is Within Our Reach

Captain William “T.” Thompson’s accomplishments are many: US Air Force pilot, Delta Airlines captain, lawyer, award-winning businessman, and professional speaker.

But Thompson did not start out in life with any special advantages. In fact, being born and raised in segregated South Carolina meant that the difficulties he faced growing up were many. But realizing his aspiration to become a pilot and becoming the first African American from the state to be accepted into the prestigious United States Air Force Academy was just the beginning of a pattern of successes in a life that extended far beyond its origins.

Thompson uses his life’s challenges and his personal story to prove that we can all accomplish much more than we previously considered possible—and that we should strive for things that we have even considered unattainable. It doesn’t take special gifts or talents either, the author insists. He credits his P4 System (Principles, People, Flight Plan, and Performance) as the foundation that enabled him to literally pilot his way to success and ultimately become a multimillionaire in the process.

With an attractive and distinctive aviation motif, The Flight to Excellence inspires and instructs executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a strong desire to reach extraordinary heights on how we can each build a “Culture of Excellence” in our own professional and personal lives by applying his methodical process and concepts and our own discipline and hard work.

The proof is in the captain’s own successes.

Captain William “T.” Thompson’s accomplishments are many: US Air Force pilot, Delta Airlines captain, lawyer, award-winning businessman, and professional speaker.

Captain Thompson lived in segregation growing up. He had a difficult life, yet, he was able to break out of everything that was holding him down to become a pilot and was the first African American from the state to be accepted into the United States Air Force Academy.

Thompson uses his life’s challenges and his personal story to prove that we can all accomplish much more than we thought we could do. He created a P4 System (Principles, People, Flight Plan, and Performance) to follow and shows how it can help the reader.

Inspiring for all walks of life - teaching us how to build a “Culture of Excellence” in our own professional and personal lives by using his concepts and story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this advanced copy.
