And that's a lesson I learned early, and it kept me alive for a 25-year career." - Dave Greenberg"Just because it's safe now doesn't mean it's safe 30 seconds from now. Constant reassessment is the way we stayed alive in the aircraft, and it's the way I live my life." - Dave Greenberg"I think about inspirational individuals who show up authentically and have a great deal of humility. Those are major character values for me when I think about leadership." - Peggy SmithConnect with Denis: Email: [email protected]: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/
