During a medical procedure in 2020, Dagmar Turner performed her violin while surgeons operated to remove a tumor from her brain's right frontal lobe.

This unique act aimed to help surgeons avoid harming the brain region responsible for coordination and delicate hand movements, which are crucial for her musical abilities. Thankfully, the surgery was successful.

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route.

Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control.

Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.

My favorite Fauci photo. He's hugging nurse Nina Pham upon her release from the NIH Clinical Center, where she was treated for Ebola. He hugged her publicly to show the world that it's safe to touch Ebola survivors, to reduce stigma.
