Ignaz Semmelweis had the best intentions, yet he unknowingly caused harm. What if we’re doing the same in our own lives? Hank looks at ways to recognize your own personal blind spots, how to approach (sometimes hard) feedback with humility, and how to use it to grow in ways you may have never expected.
You can control actions, but you can’t control hearts. When people follow you because they want to, not because they have to, that’s when real leadership begins.

Old Faithful isn’t the tallest geyser in Yellowstone, but it's one of the most famous geysers in the world because it's reliable.

Hank explores how you can use predictability to create a new level of trust and confidence within your team.
People don’t just follow you because they like you—they trust you because they believe you know what you’re doing. The question isn’t just, "Will they follow me?"

The best teams don’t avoid mistakes—they report them. High-performing nursing units report more errors, not because they make more, but because they feel safe admitting them.

The hardest part about a blind spot is… you don’t know you have one. But everyone else does! Hank talks about the dangers of "blind spots" for leaders, and how you can develop the self-awareness to see your own faults and actually grow.
You’ve probably met leaders who are all about the rules but show little concern for the people they lead. And you’ve probably met those who care deeply about people but avoid confrontation. But the best leaders? They care and they hold people accountable. Hank discusses how wise leadership is both filled with high amounts of love and caring, and high standards.
