Episode 31: Servant Leadership: Leading with Trust, Respect, and Honesty

March 01, 2024 • Scott Houston • Season 1 • Episode 31

0:00 | 17:11

In this episode, Scott talks about Robert Greenleaf’s seminal essay “The Servant as Leader.” Servant leadership is not about a personal quest for power, prestige, or material rewards. Instead, from this perspective, leadership begins with a true motivation to serve others. Scott is joined by a special guest – his Dad (hey, the price was right) – who speaks about one man’s experience practicing the philosophy over 50 years in business.
