What is Servant Leadership?

Servant leadership is a philosophy in which leaders put the well-being and development of their team members before their own. It's a leadership style based on trust and positive relationships. A servant leader helps others perform and grow as highly as possible.

Through servant leadership, managers are able to earn the respect of others and establish greater trust between employees. Instead of upper-level management making the majority of decisions in the workplace, servant leadership fosters a welcoming and communicative workplace in which employees’ opinions contribute to company decisions. Drew leads his web design & digital marketing agency, Blue Compass, under servant leadership principles each day - allowing team members to advance their skill sets in a supportive, positive environment.

Through his keynote speeches, Drew share many stories from his 15+ years of leading Blue Compass and building it into one of the most successful digital marketing agencies in the Midwest through instilling servant leadership qualities in his everyday life.

While typical leadership talks are directed towards upper-level management, Drew’s leadership speeches aren’t just for C-suite executives. As leadership expert John Maxwell says, “Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It’s about one life influencing another.” Drew believes that your title doesn’t make you a leader—your actions do. Through his speeches, he stresses that everyone can exhibit a positive influence on others, and the best way to see a certain behavior from others is to demonstrate that behavior yourself.
