In this episode, Matt talks to best-selling author Bob Burg about servant leadership. Bob is the author of the Go-Giver which has sold more than 975,000 copies worldwide. Matt and Bob covered the below topics, and much more:

The Five Laws of Success - What are they and how do you apply them to your business?
How do you become more valuable to your team?
Putting others first is how you create real influence
Why authenticity matters for leaders and how to execute
Giving more is the key to getting more from your team
Lift others up and make them the hero
How do we use the Five Laws as leaders of organizations?

The question they answered without saying it is; what is servant leadership? The answer, as Bob put it is; you take the focus off of yourself and put it on others.

About the guest

Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well.

For 30 years he’s helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals.

Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes, and political leaders including a former United States President.

Although for years he was best known for his book Endless Referrals, over the past few years it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) that has captured the imagination of his readers.
