76 | NEVER FLY SOLO
Always be willing to give a wing when you see a wingman
in need. Give your courage, support, and hope. Don’t hold
back. And finally, never leave your wingman. In the end,
you’ll get what you have given.

WALDO’S WINGTIP

This week, take a risk. Give someone you work with a “battle
damage check” and provide some feedback that person may
not want to hear even though he or she needs to hear it. Step
out of your comfort zone and make a difference for that
person. Remember, the key here is to operate from a place
of mutual respect and commitment to the overall health of
this wingman and your team. Be careful not to judge, and
focus on the behavior, not the person. And finally, offer some
support and coaching. Don’t just snipe and run. Stay in that
coworker’s formation and be a resource.
