Today, I'd like to share an interview that I did for the podcast series called “Habitual Excellence,” which is presented by Value Capture.
I had the great opportunity to interview Louis A. Shaprio – Lou is the president and CEO of the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS).
HSS CEO Lou Shapiro on Culture as Strategy & How to Sustain Habitual Excellence

But in the podcast, we talk about HSS.
Two highlights and key points:

Why does Lou think “zero” is the goal to aim for? Hear him in this short clip:
