In this episode, I speak with Dr. Ndidi Musa, Interim Co-Section Chief, Cardiac Critical Care at Seattle’s Children’s hospital. She believes that leadership is all about influence and shares her way of influencing those she is in charge of.

When asked how she delivers sad news to her patients and their families, she mentions that it is possible to deliver bad news in a positive light. She starts her day with a positive quote and brings that positivity to work.

Dr. Musa also shares her fair share of failures in life and how they were learning opportunities for her. She says, “Failure can make you feel like there is something wrong with you but if you begin to look at it as a learning opportunity, it changes the way you view things.”

At the end of our conversation, Dr. Musa highlights important principles of leadership such as listening, adopting a culture of humility and empathy, and always showing gratitude.

Thank you Dr. Musa for always looking for opportunities to influence people positively.
