The Journey from Selfish Leader to Servant Leader with Mark Whitacre

“The greatest use of strengths is always coupled with a mission to do good.”  – Dr. Donald Clifton, Founder of CliftonStrengths

Mark Whitacre is a model of purpose-driven leadership, embodying what it means to be a servant leader. But that wasn’t always the case. When he was younger, he was a selfish leader, and it led him down a dark path. At the age of 32, Mark found himself caught up in the largest price-fixing scheme in the U.S. and eventually served eight and a half years in prison.

In this episode, we discuss how the same strengths that helped Mark succeed when he only cared about material things are now helping him excel at living for significance. Listen in for more on what it looks like to use your strengths for good.
