The Team Makes the Difference!<\/h4>\n<p>Flying is primarily about one thing: teamwork. What is the secret of successful teams and what causes teams to fail? As a leader above the clouds, Philip Keil speaks from lived experience about leadership and communication in difficult situations. Those who want to leave comfort zones and strengthen personal responsibility must create a team culture of trust beyond rigid hierarchies.

No matter how good the plan is. In aviation, these moments are called \u201cDecision Points\u201d.<br \/>\nPhilip Keil shows how pilots make difficult decisions and consistently rely on a positive error culture. Only those who dare to openly address mistakes can prevent a dangerous \u201cchain of errors\u201d. It is not a wrong decision that leads to a crash, but almost always the <em>absence<\/em> of a decision \u2013 even in the corporate cockpit!<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">|<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dealing with Change: Achieving Goals Means Reaching People<\/li>\n<li>Because pulling over to the right is not an option: Making Safe Decisions with Clear Focus<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t ask WHO, understand the WHY: This is how a positive error culture succeeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>You Are the Pilot!
