People Matter At Work with Josh Block

Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we welcome Josh Block. Josh is the former president of Block Imaging, a medical imaging equipment company that grew from about $30 million to over $200 million under his leadership. What makes Josh’s leadership journey so unique is how he suddenly went from sales rep to president in a single weekend at 29 years old. Out of this unexpected crash-course in leadership, Josh realized that the speed of the leader is the speed of the team, so he built a simple framework he calls the three T’s: Together, Thoughtful, and Transparent. In his book, People Matter at Work, he unpacks the three T’s and challenges leaders to see how their leadership shapes culture, performance, and the people around them. Join us, and learn how the most successful companies in the world are building from the inside out.
