Dr. Pearl is a leader who strives to create a collaborative environment where every team member feels safe to speak up and have a say in group decision-making.
“One of the things about making big, impactful change is that it usually doesn’t happen overnight,” Dr. Pearl says. “But if you do a little bit of change week by week, month by month, and go and look back at the end of the year, you see that we actually made a big difference.”
