The Human Capacity Advantage Podcast
What if we have been measuring the wrong things about performance all along?
Hosted by Dr. Kim Hires, scientist, executive advisor, and Founder of The Nightingale Firm, The Human Capacity Advantage™ challenges conventional thinking about burnout, leadership, organizational performance, AI, and the future of work.
Every episode combines research, practical frameworks, and real-world insights to help leaders and organizations build sustainable performance in an increasingly complex world.
Because being human isn't a liability, it's our greatest competitive advantage. The future belongs to leaders who know how to leverage it.
New episodes each week:
- Mondays: Monday Morning Capacity Check™ — Start your week with a practical leadership reflection.
- Wednesdays: The Human Capacity Advantage™ — Deep dives into Human Capacity, leadership, burnout, AI, and organizational performance.
- Fridays: The Human Capacity SITREP™ — A weekly analysis of current events through the lens of Human Capacity.
If you are ready to rethink leadership, work, and performance, welcome to my classroom where performance begins with capacity.
