Oakland McCulloch - Leaders Serve Their People and Take Care of Them

Welcome to the Selling from the Heart podcast with Darrell Amy and Larry Levine as they welcome Oakland McCulloch, a retired lieutenant colonel and the author of Your Leadership Legacy. Taking from 40 years of leadership, Oakland zeroes in on taking care of people as the number one priority of every organization.

He emphasizes that a culture of trust starts with servant leadership, and you can start this by bridging the professional and personal gap to forge trust with your team. Oakland also points out that leadership development does not happen by accident and how self-discipline is one of the biggest characteristics of leaders.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

Everything cascades from taking care of your people - Oakland: "People will always tell me when I tell them about it's not about you, and they say well, Oak, I really want my next promotion and I want my next pay raise."

"And I said, you're going to get it. If you take care of people, they are better, which then makes your organization better, which then makes you better, which means you're going to get your promotion."

Developing new leaders has a twofold benefit - Oakland: "Leadership development doesn't happen by accident. You have to develop a plan in your organization that is developing that next generation of leaders. And here's what I tell people, you get two benefits."

"Not only are you getting better leaders, which then again gives you a better company and more profit if that's the bottomline that you're really looking for, but you also give people in your organization the ability to move up, which then helps their motivation."
