Скачать или смотреть Delta CEO Ed Bastian: Leadership When 95% of Revenue Disappears | Classics

Before he became CEO of Delta Air Lines, Ed Bastian learned his earliest leadership lessons in a crowded house.

As the oldest of nine children growing up above his parents’ dental practice in New York, Ed quickly discovered something many leaders eventually learn the hard way: influence matters more than authority.

Those early lessons would prove essential years later when he helped guide Delta through some of the most challenging moments in aviation history—from the aftermath of 9/11 to the day the pandemic wiped out 95% of the airline’s revenue in just 30 days.

“Redemption is a powerful story,” Ed explains. “And Delta’s story is one of redemption.”
