A Dude in a Suit: Human Capital in Human Performance
Buckle up bucker-oos!! We're hitting on human capital and tipping into some gender norms today!
This week Doc's Sarah and Alyse deep dive into human capital. Do you know what human capital is? No worries because we not only define it but we also go into human capital theology in both sports and tactical settings as well as its role in leadership. We discuss the 5 elements to human capital and how it applies in human performance.
Some food for thought to give you going into this episode:

• Is empathy seen as a weakness or a strength in Human Performance? Is it gender biased?
• Is there gender bias in leadership?
• Do females make more sacfrices than men to obtain leadership roles?
• Is crusty and rough around the edges a human capital trait for HPO?
• Is imposter syndrome linked to a human capital deficit?

This episode will help you understand human capital theory and how it can not only aid in hiring appropriate staff, but also how it can help with retention in high stress jobs (ie. HPO, tactical, first responder). We finish out with solutions for how to address this in your leadership roles and human performance teams!
