Abigail Manning and Kevin Scholl on Storytelling, Collaboration and Servant Leadership

Greg Aden sits down with Abigail Manning and Kevin Scholl to talk about what real leadership looks like in practice. Kevin describes the two kinds of leaders he saw on film sets, the tyrant who wants his vision facilitated and the collaborator who brings the whole team into the story, and why he never chased a title. He shares the line his teams have heard for 25 years: I do not care if you fail, as long as you fail with good intentions. Abigail talks about overcoming childhood abuse and domestic violence, the work she now does with the Air Force Academy, the Wounded Warrior Project and corporations, and why authentic storytelling opens doors that lectures never will. Greg adds a reminder worth sitting with, that our titles will not be on our tombstones, but how we showed up for others will.
