<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">to be a courageous innovator</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">to be emotionally and culturally </span></li></ul>&#8230; <a href="http://www.embercarriers.com/blog/2013/10/07/becoming-a-change-leader/" class="read-more"> </a>]]></description>
