How Can I Be A Servant Leader?
Servant leadership is much more complex than traditional leadership, where leaders build walls around themselves, use their authority to tell people what to do, and don’t care much about the people they're leading on a personal level. Servant leadership requires compassion, discipline, consistent levels of energy, emotional and mental stability, and the ability to deliver an A game daily. Being a servant leader is not the easiest choice but certainly the most rewarding, and today's guest, Dan Greene, is here to talk with us about this important subject.
Dan Greene is the Senior Vice President of North American Sales & Growth at Impossible Foods. He is an accomplished sales manager and leader with vast experience in leading groups in dynamic and challenging situations. Some of his past experiences are Vice President of Sales at Twitter, Director of New Products and Solutions at Google, and Board Member at HSMAI, just to name a few. Prior to serving as a leader in multiple organizations, Dan was a Fighter Pilot and Director of Operations in the Navy.
Dan is certainly the right person to answer today's question, How can I be a servant leader? He shares brilliant nuggets of what it means to be a servant leader and helps us understand the differences between traditional and servant leadership. We talk about his extensive experience in leadership, how his military background influenced his leadership qualities, and the principles that drive his daily actions and life.
