Contributors Corner: Reflections on Servant Leadership with André Brisson, Kristin Graham, & Jeff Kaas

Welcome to our very first edition of “Contributors Corner” on the “BEATS WORKING” podcast. So what is “Contributors Corner?” Each month, we gather past guests for a deep dive into a concept or guest we’ve had on the show. The goal is to uncover new learning and takeaways we can all use to redeem work – making work better for everyone. 

This month, we’re exploring servant leadership and the May 2023 “BEATS WORKING” episode featuring former Starbucks president Howard Behar. If you haven’t heard the original interview, it’s definitely worth a listen. Howard is one of the world’s top advocates of servant leadership and has led by example for 50+ years.  

Our contributors this month are Jeff Kaas, owner of Kaas Tailored, a manufacturing company near Seattle; André Brisson, host of the “Impulsive Thinker” podcast; and Kristin Graham, founder of Unlock the Brain and host of the podcast “Fewer Things Better.” 

Our contributors and host Mark Wright discuss what servant leadership looks like (or doesn’t look like) in various industries and the simple things we can all do to become better servant leaders. 

A striking takeaway? How hard it was for our contributors to name exceptional servant leaders they have worked with. How many can you name? Here’s to growing more servant leaders, and thanks for supporting our mission to redeem work.
