In today’s featured interview segments TPC president & CEO Geoff Brenner shares his personal leadership philosophy, and also reflects on the importance of leading by example and living out core values.
Brenner begins by noting that his leadership philosophy is still very much a work in process. After a moment of reflection, he explains,
“I think for me, it’s not a title to lord over anyone, and it’s not an opportunity to enrich yourself and be served and kind of sit at the top of a mountain or in a tower. I think it’s very much an invitation to be the chief servant.”
In the next segment, Brenner talks about how critical it is for leaders to daily live out and demonstrate core values in order for those values to cascade throughout the organization.
“It won’t be enough for me to stand up in an all-employee meeting once every month or two weeks and tell them what values we should embrace and live. What I have to do every day, the best I can, is live it in front of the team that works and reports to me every day.”
