Colonel JV Venable (USAF, Ret.) is a Fighter Weapons School graduate who went on to lead the USAF Thunderbirds and a combat group of 1,100 American airmen in the Persian Gulf.
“As a leader in situations that are literally life-or-death, JV
brings street cred to the challenge of leading high-performance
teams. His examples come from the physics of close-formation aerial
maneuvers and the incredibly small tolerances that make the
difference between good and extraordinary. With quiet humor and
humility, he uses those stories to offer insight and actionable
advice leader to leader.”
—Mark E. White, Principal, Global Consulting Chief Technology
Officer, Deloitte Consulting, LLP
“JV does an amazing job of sharing powerful real-life examples that
we can implement in our organizations. A fascinating read that
delivers a message so powerful yet practical. This book should be
required reading for all leaders looking to take their teams to new
heights!”
—Bob Korzeniewski, Executive Vice President for Strategic
Development, Verisign Inc., 2000-2007
“Even though this was written by the ‘competition,’ I found
Breaking the Trust Barrier to be a great read. JV delivers a
powerful message in a way that will stay with you and your team for
years to come. Drafting is not just a process for building and
leading high-performance teams; it’s a pathway to success.”
—Rob “Ice” Ffield, Blue Angels Flight Leader/Commanding Officer,
2001–2002, and President and CEO, CATSHOT Group, LLC
“Breaking the Trust Barrier is a leader’s must-read! JV masterfully
combines his Air Force experiences with thoughtful insights from
commanding the world-famous Thunderbirds to create a road map for
building real trust. He talks so honestly about commitment,
loyalty, and trust that his message easily translates to any
business or leadership environment. I honestly can’t wait to apply
much of what I have read with my own team.”
—Dennis M. Satyshur, Director of Golf Operations, Caves Valley Golf
Club
“JV clearly articulates the key to his success leading multiple
organizations and gives readers a glimpse of the challenge,
excitement, and emotion of leading a high-performance jet
demonstration team. I followed JV in command of the Thunderbirds
and was able to build on the principles he established. Leaders at
all levels will fi nd this book inspiring, practical, and helpful
in accelerating their leadership skills.”
—Richard “Spad” McSpadden, Commander/Leader, USAF Thunderbirds,
2002–2004, and Senior Director, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
“Multiple commands and his stint as the lead pilot of the USAF
Thunderbirds have given Colonel JV Venable powerful insights that
he has captured in Breaking the Trust Barrier. His imagery will
sear the themes of this book in your memory. His conception of
trust is striking, memorable, and entirely new to the literature of
leadership.”
—Dr. Charles Ping, President Emeritus, Ohio University
“Captivating stories within Breaking the Trust Barrier make the
process you’ll find inside absolutely indelible. This is an
inspiring book and, if you’re like me, you’ll start putting JV’s
techniques to work the moment you set it down. Whether you’re a
senior executive or just getting your footing as a leader, this is
a must-read!”
—Linda Chambliss, Vice President, Global Account Operations,
