RERUN: S1EP3. Leading by Example w/ Greg Kennedy

While waiting for the newest season launching this fall, we have
something special planned for your listening enjoyment. Get ready
to revisit some of your favorite Eccles Business Buzz episodes
with our timeless reruns.


In this episode from season 1, we hear from Greg Kennedy who
graduated from the Eccles School in 1987 and is one of our most
dedicated Eccles advisory board members. Greg recently retired as
Senior Vice President of Airport Operations at Delta Airlines
where he was responsible for some of the busiest airports in the
world including our very own Salt Lake International.


Greg walks us through his family story and his experiences
growing up, wrestling to go to college, and how he ended up at
the University of Utah and eventually, the Eccles School.


He narrates his extensive experience working in the airline
industry, some of the ups and downs, dealing with major crises
like 9/11 and COVID-19, and the importance of leadership through
it all.


Greg shares his definition of empathy and how his perspective has
changed throughout his career. He also talks about the great
attributes of a leader/mentor and the importance of having the
right people to guide you in your journey.


Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School
of Business and is produced by University fm.
