Podcast – Episode 94:
Agility and Innovation in the Travel Industry
Taking the next step in modernizing travel as a concept
One would think that innovation in traveling is all about speed, right? Just getting to your destination faster. But the truth is, there is much more in terms of technology of what’s going on in this industry, and we have the bright mind of Amy Burr, President at JetBlue Technology Ventures, to shine some light on what it means to work in this industry, what her journey has been like, and some kick-ass leadership advice on what works and what doesn’t.
“You don’t always have to have the qualifications to do a job. Sometimes you just need to be capable of learning what you need to know.“
With Amy, we talked about many things, but the one thing that will surely stand out is her journey, from her beginnings, all the way to where she is now.
Key takeaways from the podcast:
- The mindset of the leader – how it infuses into the organization, and can be crucial for success
- Always provide a suggestion to a problem when you’re going to someone
- Women leaders have it harder, and they need to keep pushing with questions and requests as they do, as the landscape is already changing
