Ron Lutz On The Secret to Servant Leadership EP 32

What is the secret to servant leadership skills? In this Passion Struck Podcast episode, John R. Miles interviews Ron Lutz about improving your servant leadership skills. And applying it to your life.

New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

In today's discussion, Ron Lutz and I will discuss some of the mutual experiences we had working together at Lowe's Home Improvement. Primarily, a joint project we worked on was the first in the company's history of applying the agile methodology to our software development projects. We discuss the keys that made this project such a success and why agile software development takes involvement not only from the software team but, even more importantly, the business team it is supporting.

Ron talks about how this initiative saved the company over $400 Million and the keys that made the project such a success.

We explore the importance of serving others versus serving ourselves and why becoming a servant leader is so important as we approach this all-digital future that we're entering into.

Ron shares words of advice on how you be a servant leader both in your career and personal life and so much more.

Enjoy!!

Quotes From Ron Lutz

"And your notion, that agile solution made perfect sense to me at the time, in terms of our dynamic need relative to the business, we were trying to stand up, it worked flawlessly."

"For every week that we could take out of the build cycle, that was half a million dollars of incremental sales per week."

"I turned around one day, and I said, Wait a minute, am I truly fulfilled? Am I actually giving all the value back to Lowe's that I feel like Lowe's deserves? Frankly, am I staying true to who I am?" "We need to know ourselves very well."

"Every voice along with the continuum matters. Everyone's activity is a value add an activity; everyone should have the ability to be able to say if we did this, it would have this cause and effect."
