| 0:00.0 | Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan, here to bring you another edition of three more |
| 0:08.9 | questions with David Novak. David, it's great to be with you today. How's it going? It's going well, |
| 0:13.8 | Kula, and I'm looking forward to this conversation because we're going to be talking about |
| 0:18.2 | the conversation I had with Tom Baltimore. He's the chairman |
| 0:22.1 | and CEO of Park Hotels and Resorts. And, you know, I've just gotten to know him recently |
| 0:26.5 | because he joined the Comcast Board. And he's one hell of a good leader and a great guy. |
| 0:32.4 | It's clear after listening to the interview that Tom is a guy who really pushes himself and he pushes his |
| 0:39.1 | own boundaries. He pushes himself to be the best version of himself that he can be. And he does that |
| 0:43.5 | for his team as well. And it's why they've been so successful and why I believe people love |
| 0:48.4 | working for Tom. And I'm excited to get your take on some of the concepts that you two discussed |

| 1:12.8 | members past their comfort zones. David, how can a leader strike that balance of pushing their |
| 1:19.4 | team members while not creating burnout? Well, that's really interesting because one of the things |
| 1:24.2 | that Tom's very public about is how he goes in every Sunday and works. |
| 1:28.3 | I mean, that's just part of his ethos. |
| 1:30.2 | And he really talks about the importance of hard work and putting the hours in because that's how he moved up and that's how he succeeded. |
| 1:39.4 | So it's something that he deeply believes in. |
| 1:42.2 | So I think that, first of all, it's great to have a culture where |
| 1:46.3 | the work ethic is very high. You want people coming to work and really wanting to be there |
