Perfectly Balanced Projects (As All Things Should Be) | Breaking Down Thanos' Leadership Style

In this episode of the Hard Knock University Podcast, Mark Caples is joined by Chris Day and Seth Caples to break down the leadership lessons hidden inside Avengers: Infinity War. What can project managers and leaders learn from the Mad Titan himself, Thanos? Surprisingly—a lot.

✅ Ruthless decision making
✅ Visionary leadership vs. autocratic control
✅ Delegation, resource management, and sacrifice
✅ The costs of executing big visions without feedback
✅ Comparing Thanos' leadership with Tony Stark, Captain America & Thor
✅ What Infinity War teaches us about team cohesion and crisis management

As always, we mix leadership lessons with real-world #HardKnockLessons, project management insights, and a few laughs along the way. Plus, we touch on everything from robot dogs to bad Netflix writing to running projects when everything seems to fall apart.

🎯 Whether you're a Marvel fan, a project manager, or just trying to lead through the chaos — this episode delivers.
