Have you ever wondered how military units can basically, send out young kids into major missions and sleep well the night before? This is especially important, when most CEO’s of newer companies can’t sleep leaving some of the more minimal tasks in their business to someone else?

Well, Jim Murphy, Founder & Chairman of Afterburner, asked the same question after becoming an F-15 Pilot in the Air Force. He began to dissect the process and after leaving the service, determined this was something corporations needed to be able to incorporate to have more success.

Since then, his company Afterburner has helped thousands of companies including those within the Fortune 50 and even the Super Bowl-Winning, New York Giants, incorporate his Flawless Execution Framework.

We had the honor of sitting down with Jim to talk about his framework, along with some of the biggest issues he sees today’s companies are dealing with. We also talked how companies can stay ahead of innovation, and how to create a team who are centered around one mission.
