Episode card for The Servant Leadership Podcast

What does servant leadership actually look like when you are the one in charge? Greg Aden sits down with Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis, President and CEO of Craig Hospital, and John Eades, author of Building the Best, to talk about the qualities that make people want to follow you. They share why care, honesty, and real listening matter more than having every answer, and why no leader has to be perfect.

In this conversation: - Why Jandel says she serves Craig Hospital rather than leads it, and how care, transparency, humor, and gratitude shape her leadership - The meeting that showed John the problem was not his team, it was him, and his definition of leadership as actions that inspire, empower, and serve in order to elevate others - How three simple words, tell me more, and the reminder "why am I talking" can make you a better listener - How our culture makes it harder for men to say I don't know, and why vulnerability makes leaders stronger
