 "Servant leadership is really rolling up your sleeves to be there for others." — Jessper Maquindang

 
📝Description:
 What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't your strategy, your budget, or your competition — but four little words: "We've always done it that way."

In this episode, Steve Ramona sits down with Jessper Maquindang — leadership consultant, master's-degreed leadership expert, and 10-year American Red Cross volunteer — to unpack what servant leadership actually looks like when you strip away the buzzwords. Spoiler: it starts with rolling up your sleeves and standing alongside your team, not in front of them.

In this conversation:

  • Why "alongside, not behind, not in front" is the real test of a servant leader
  • How innovation directly fuels revenue — and why hierarchy quietly kills it
  • The purpose problem: what younger generations demand from the companies they work for
  • Simple (not easy) ways to unlock every team member's unique strengths
  • How a childhood dream at age five became a life built around personal development
  • The one question that reveals whether you're truly a leader: Who are you mentoring right now?

PS: Jessper has visited 49 of 50 states and run 14 marathons — with Alaska (and marathon #15) on deck this summer. His whole philosophy fits in one repeated phrase from this episode: just take the first step. Whether it's a book, a marathon, or a leadership breakthrough, that first step is the whole game.
