It is not enough to ask leaders, employees, or students to befriend loners or victims of bullying and all of a sudden play friendly and be kind toward one another. Primal responses to fear and abandonment create bully-type behaviors and reactions. These primal instincts that are fear-based become drives for humans to return to equilibrium or homeostasis during or after stressful events or pressures. Leaders, employees, and students often respond to this stress with unhealthy and sometimes unconscious internal drives to dominate and divide. The unmet needs of individuals, organizations, and cultural groups must be addressed first so that instinctual impulses or the sympathetic nervous system arousal is not on automatic flight or fight. The question is, do you know the unmet needs of your leaders, employees, or students?

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.
