Leadership with a Servant’s Heart: Insights from Rick, Author of ‘Create the Future
Join me on "Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart" as we explore the profound intersection of leadership, service, and vulnerability. In our conversation with Rick, we uncover how true leaders must balance decisive action with an openness to learning from others. Rick shares the transformative power of community and mentorship, emphasizing the value of being part of groups like Vistage, where leaders can confidentially exchange experiences. Through Rick’s insights from his book "Create the Future," we discuss how effective leadership involves both making informed decisions and embracing new perspectives.
Additionally, I reflect on my own career journey, from physicist to management consultant, and the challenges and rewards of founding and running a company. We explore the critical transition from individual excellence to fostering team success, highlighting the importance of mentoring young leaders. The discussion extends to how leaders can shape the future of their organizations through creativity, effective decision-making, and robust feedback mechanisms. Tune in to discover how you can impact your world by leading with a servant’s heart.
