Quotes:
!["[He said to our senior leadership team],
I don't think you all are as serious about safety as you think you are.
And I was just struck at that moment that I wanted to hang out with Paul O'Neill."](https://www.valuecapturellc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Meuthing-Habitual-Excellence-1-2.png?width=940&height=788&name=Meuthing-Habitual-Excellence-1-2.png)

!["[Paul O'Neill] pushed us to put harm information out there on our internet. So everybody in our organization could see it. And then that blossomed into sharing that with everybody across all the children's hospitals."](https://www.valuecapturellc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Meuthing-Habitual-Excellence-3-2.png?width=940&height=788&name=Meuthing-Habitual-Excellence-3-2.png)
