In this episode of The Profit Minds Podcast, Dr. Steven Kirch sits down with Dave Rosenberg — former F-14 Naval Flight Officer, founder of Locked On Leadership, and architect of the Radical Accountability leadership doctrine — to unpack how to build a true culture of accountability without fear or micromanagement.
From life-and-death decision making on a carrier flight deck to transforming civilian teams, Dave reveals the Mindset → Model → Mechanics framework leaders can use to document, train, and test for consistent execution—so owners can stop doing everything themselves and teams can own outcomes.
Now, through Locked On Leadership, Dave helps leaders implement practical systems, create self-actualized teams, and drive performance with clarity, standards, and consequences chosen in advance.
💡 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧:
• Why “holding people accountable” is the last step—not the first
• The Mindset → Model → Mechanics playbook (and how to apply it this week)
• How to end micromanagement by documenting → training → testing
• Using decision frameworks (like OSIR) to build ownership
• How leaders “walk the talk” (and why modeling beats mandates)
• Consequences by choice—how to be firm, clear, and uplifting
Whether you’re scaling a small business, leading a division, or rebuilding team culture, this conversation is a field guide to reliable execution and real accountability. From F-14 Flight Deck to Boardroom: Building a Culture of Radical Accountability
