Why Humans Can’t Be Perfect | John Nance | TEDxSanJuanIsland

John J. Nance exposes a dirty little (universal) secret:  As humans, we expect ourselves to perform perfectly 100% of the time in our personal and in our professional lives, but in fact, we can never guarantee individual perfection. The key to perfect performance and zero disasters lies in continuously expecting mistakes, using teamwork, and a host of well-proven strategies. John Nance is an internationally recognized air safety advocate, and is best known to North American TV audiences as the longtime Aviation Analyst for ABC World News and Good Morning America. A pioneering advocate of Crew Resource Management, John wrote the landmark work Blind Trust, which is widely credited with helping spark a total revolution in aviation safety. John is a New York Times Bestselling author of 21 major best selling fiction and non-fiction works. He holds BA and JD (Juris Doctor) degrees from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and an honorary PsD degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. A decorated Air Force pilot veteran of Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm, John is a Lt. Colonel in the USAF Reserve, and has piloted a wide variety of aircraft logging over 16,000 hours in a flight career spanning 50 years.
