Authentic Leaders are Servants First with Leadership Expert, Dan Owolabi
In this episode, Roxanne converses with Dan Owolabi about his servant leadership journey. They delve into its definition, examples, and implementation advice. Dan shares tips on dealing with challenging CEOs and explores the concept in personal and professional relationships. They discuss his unique leadership approach and his international nonprofit, Branches Worldwide. The talk concludes with ways to connect with Dan and reflections on authenticity.
Becoming a great leader is no easy task and there has never been a more important time to understand this fast paced, global economy. Companies operating in the same style and pace as before are a great disadvantage. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Leadership Expert, Dan Owolabi.
Dan has always believed that Authentic Leaders are servants first. That’s why he has made it his mission to help others achieve exceptional results by leading from a mindset of serving.
Drawing upon his talent for storytelling and his passion for connecting with others, Dan has spent the past 15 years working to empower those around him. For nearly a decade, he served as a public-school teacher and pastor in Northeast Ohio. The work, while demanding, was incredibly rewarding—so in 2017, Dan decided to take his passion for developing leaders to a wider audience.
