When Quint Studer speaks, count on his pearly whites dazzling. His leadership model is that he wants everyone he works with to speak directly to him. “If I have spinach in my teeth, I want my team to tell me,” Studer said, flashing a smile and sharing an example. “That’s the kind of relationship I want to have with my team.”

That leadership style has allowed Studer to serve as President of Baptist Hospital in Florida and found several businesses serving his two passions: healthcare excellence and strong communities. A children’s hospital now bears his name and hundreds of thousands have read his books on leadership and business operations.

He even brought minor league baseball to Pensacola and now co-owns the team with Two-time Masters Champion Bubba Watson. If anybody has a right to think of himself as a local hero, one who believes his own press clippings, then surely it is Studer. But he does not. Studer says that self-awareness and teachability aren’t ends in themselves but rather “help us turn obstacles into opportunities and promote creativity.”
