Ever made a call at work that backfired — big time?

Rob Hahn, now COO at Pattern, knows exactly what that feels like.

Early in his career as a young leader at Amazon, he faced a decision no leader ever forgets.

At just 26 and leading thousands of people, a severe weather warning hit.

He made the call to shut everything down.

The storm never came.

And the decision cost the company millions.

But instead of hiding from it, Rob leaned in.

He owned it. He learned from it.

And that moment became the foundation for how he leads under pressure today.

When we talked on Lead the Team, I was struck by how deeply that one experience reshaped his leadership philosophy.

Rob shares how turning failure into fuel helped him rise to one of the top roles in a company that just completed a multi-billion-dollar IPO — and how you can do the same.

If you’ve ever carried the weight of a bad call or a decision that didn’t go as planned, this conversation will help you see it differently — and lead stronger because of it.
