Slice of Piefer - 023 - High-Stakes Leadership: Lessons from the Operating Room to the Boardroom

Join Dr. Jason Piefer, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert, in this special episode of Slice of Pie on Breakfast with Champions. Drawing from 14+ years in high-pressure operating rooms (600+ surgeries/year), Dr. Piefer shares actionable insights on leading under stress: spotting pitfalls like the "tyrant" or "indecisive" leader, and building foundations through love ("will the good of others"), humility, gratitude, skill, and confidence. Hear real stories, like diagnosing compartment syndrome in emergencies, and Q&A on rituals, work-life balance, handling threatened bosses, and aligning values with results. Perfect for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone facing high-stakes decisions! Dr. Piefer practices at Piefer Bone & Joint in The Woodlands, Texas.
