What kind of legacy will your leadership leave behind?
In this episode of The Manager’s Mic, we explore the foundations of servant leadership with retired Lieutenant Colonel Oakland McCulloch, a decorated military leader and author of Your Leadership Legacy. Oak shares timeless lessons from his leadership journey—insights built on character, courage, and a commitment to developing others.
Together, we explore the core competencies of effective leadership, including empathy, integrity, active listening, and preparing future leaders. You’ll learn why personal experiences and defining moments shape leadership styles—and how legacy is measured not by control, but by the leaders we leave behind.
Whether you’re leading a team or shaping a culture, this conversation is a masterclass in values-driven leadership.
