Welcome to Defining Moments of Leadership, a podcast hosted by Marsha Acker. We’re joined today by guest Tony Melville and he’s sharing about his personal journey of model building. We cover a range of topics, everything from how do you carve out personal development time as a senior leader? How do you lead change? And what are some of the benefits to knowing yourself and your model for leading? And how can that serve you when you’re leading in high stakes? Because let’s face it, leadership is a high-stakes activity.
