Quotes:
"The leadership I learned over time was knowing when not to take off and when to turn back instead of being the heroes and going through. 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 Smith
