Nobody has all the answers, not even leaders, so why pretend that we do? Hanna Song, the VP and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, believes the best leaders are those who acknowledge their gaps and are willing to do something to fill them. In this episode, Hanna tells the story of a leader in her organization who intentionally went out to find an experience to help him see things from someone else's perspective. Give the full episode a listen to hear about how really seeing the people on your team and listening to their challenges can win you a lot of respect, even when you don't have a solution.

"Connecting with people consumes a lot of time, but that investment is incomparable in terms of what you get in return."

That small connection had a big impact and even influenced his career path.

In this episode, you'll hear why Dr. Elnahal says a CEO's job is to work for the success of his team and how to build trust with those you lead.
