Trust featuring Frank Mona III

Inspired by Colin Powell's view that leadership is trust, Frank Mona III explores servant leadership, organizational culture, and human connection.

In 2011, former US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, shared his views on the essence of leadership and boiled it down to a single word, trust. Powell began his military career in the US Army in 1958 and in 1989, was promoted to the rank of General. He concluded his military career by serving as the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military position in the Department of Defense.

As listeners of this show well know, leadership isn’t relegated to the military or government. Leadership is a crucial linchpin that ensures the wheels of business keep spinning. Frank Mona’s leadership lessons began at an early age, observing his father’s interactions in the food manufacturing plant he managed.

We discuss:

The value experience brings to leadership
Recognizing and building a culture of Servant Leadership
Establishing trust in an organization
The Impact of communication on relationships
