Summary
Quick, picture an org chart. Blocks filled with names and lines drawn from the top execs all the way down to the most junior team members. Now imagine flipping that chart on its head. CEO at the bottom, supporting everyone above them. Feels a lot better, right?This is the world Joe Palm and Mike Moss would like to create.

Servant leadership has been proven to improve profits, productivity and performance. And Joe and Mike have come up with ways to make it work no matter where you sit within an organization. But let’s be clear—big and lasting change will only happen when top leaders commits to it. Who will lead the way? I’ve had a number of guests on this podcast who are already doing it.
