Episode card for The Servant Leadership Podcast

How do you lead people so they want to follow, not because of your title but because of who you are? In this episode, Greg Aden talks with Abigail Manning and Kevin Scholl about storytelling for leaders, collaboration over control, and why authentic stories open doors that lectures never will.

In this conversation: - The two kinds of leaders Kevin saw on film sets, the tyrant who wants his vision facilitated and the collaborator who brings the whole team into the story - Why Kevin never chased a title, and the line his teams have heard for 25 years: I do not care if you fail, as long as you fail with good intentions - How Abigail turned childhood abuse and domestic violence into work with the Air Force Academy, the Wounded Warrior Project and corporations, and why sharing your own story builds empathy - Greg's reminder that our titles will not be on our tombstones, but how we showed up for others will
