"Servant leadership is the most aspirational thing you'll ever try to do. If you think it's easy to think about others over yourself, I've got news for you. You're going to mess up every couple of hours."

Embracing a mindset of serving others before ourselves seems easy on paper, yet those who try often learn that embracing these principles is no easy task. When we work toward listening before speaking, meeting our team where they are at, and constantly looking for who we should serve, the results speak for themselves.

Indiana University Kelley School of Business Dean Idalene "Idie" Kesner and ROI Podcast Host Matt Martella sat down with Cheryl Bachelder, BS'78, MBA'78, who is the former CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. and author of "Dare to Serve: How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others." Today she serves as a director for Chick Fil A and US Foods Holding Co.

On this episode, Bachelder shares the importance of embracing a leadership style focused on uplifting those around us before we lift up ourselves.
