Dusty reflects on his leadership journey which began in 1998 as a third shift supervisor in a call center. At the young age of 22, he initially focused on personal career growth but had a pivotal moment when his mentor, Colonel Greg Camp, introduced him to the principles of servant leadership. Through book clubs and personal mentorship, Greg taught Dusty that true leadership is about serving and empowering others. This episode dives deep into the transformative power of servant leadership, the importance of continual learning, and how one mentor's belief and guidance can fundamentally shape and change a leader's approach and philosophy. What was your leadership wake-up moment?
