S4:E72AI RECAP | Leadership Lessons from 9/11
🎙️ Live with Coach BZ | Leadership & Success Podcast
"For my generation, 9/11 was our Pearl Harbor. The next day, 9/12, became a defining moment: not of destruction, but of resilience, unity, and patriotism. Neighbors helped neighbors. Strangers became family. First responders ran toward the flames while others fled. It was in this atmosphere of service and sacrifice that I chose to raise my right hand and enlist in the US Navy. That decision shaped the course of my life and taught me that leadership—whether in uniform or in business—is tested not in calm seas, but in the storm." -CDR Bob Fabien "BZ" Zinga, US Navy
This special episode is based on my article: Leadership Lessons from 9/11: Resilience, Unity, and the Call to Lead🇺🇸
Twenty-four years later, the lessons of 9/11 still echo for leaders in every arena — from the deckplates of the U.S. Navy to the boardrooms and SOCs of Silicon Valley. Leadership in crisis is tested not in calm seas, but in the storm.
