As he shared, "Being in the right place at the right time" helped him hone his leadership skills. His first leadership efforts were focused on helping other pilots manage engine failures and over the years he has successfully applied those same principles across various work and volunteer environments.
According to Phil, the key "Leadership Principles" are:
Model the Way
Inspire a Vision
Challenge the process
Enable others to act
Encourage the heart
