The world in which we operate moves so quickly that it’s ill-advised for a leader to devote an organization’s undivided attention on one thing or one direction for too long. So in an effort to be nimble and flexible to changing conditions, a leader will make evolving commitments to many markets, funding or technology. But wouldn’t doing so put added stress on people within the organization scrambling to meet all these diverse commitments? How does such decision making impact an organization? What are the pros and cons and how should a leader respond?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
