Scope: 44th Wings Club General Harold R. Harris "Sight" Lecture, presented on November 14, 2013 at The Wings Club, New York City by Marillyn A. Hewson, CEO of Lockheed Martin.

Contents (from the Introduction): "When I thought about what I wanted to share with you this afternoon, I didn't look any further than the suggestion from General Harold Ross Harris, one of the original members of the Wings Club. General Harris founded the "Sight" Lecture, and he suggested that the lectures cover "hindsights, insights and foresights" of aviation. This progression from the past, through the present, and into the future means one thing to me: innovation. In particular, how we inspire innovation.

Since 1903, when the Wright brothers made their historic flight at Kitty Hawk, innovation has driven the aerospace industry like few others. And I'd suggest that innovation is more important - and more necessary — today than at any time in the history of our industry.

So the question for us this afternoon is how do we continue to inspire innovation in the men and women who propel our industry for-ward? How do we ignite the spark of genius - the "Ah-Ha!" moment - that creates legends?

For Lockheed Martin, the impact and influence of the famous Kelly Johnson - both the man and the myth - continue to this day. Kelly was one of the great airplane designers in history and the first director of the Skunk Works, where many of our advanced, top-secret programs are developed. And when it comes to inspiring innovation, we begin with Kelly and his famous 14 Rules and Practices by which he managed the Skunk Works.

If we examine Kelly's 14 Rules in detail, they're a perfect reflection of the man. He was a no-nonsense manager with a down-to-brass-tacks leadership style that was reflected in his motto: "Be quick, be quiet, and be on time."
