Now celebrating its 75th Anniversary, TDIndustries, Inc. mechanical construction and facilities services company has made the list of Best Places to Work every year since the awards inception in 1998.

TD was the first company to embrace Servant Leadership! And what exactly IS Servant Leadership? You’ll hear Jack and I talk heart-to-heart about the tidbits of his life as a leader, husband and father.

You’ll hear how TD was introduced to the founding visionary of the servant leadership movement, Bob Greenleaf. That story and others are golden nuggets of a life well lived that you’ll only hear on this podcast—just Jack and me sitting in our living room set – discussing things like:

-How did Jack become friends with the first NASA astronauts?
-What did he aspire to be when he grew up?
-What was it like to come to work with his dad, Jack Lowe, Sr. (founder of TD)?
-What were the best and worst times for being the CEO?
-Who did Jack go to for support when he needed advice?
-How did his dad start school de-segregation peacefully in Dallas?
-How did TD survive the downturn of the 80’s with financial help from their
employees?
-How do you hold people accountable for operationalizing servant leadership?
-Was it hard to retire after 52 years at TD?

Tune in to hear this Legacy Leader share his life’s journey with us.

TPOVS:
-TRUST until people prove they are NOT trustworthy!
-If WHAT you do is WHO you are – it’s hard to retire.
-Have each other’s back…..take care of what’s in front of YOU and count on your buddies to take care of what’s in front of THEM.
-Hold people accountable for two things: produce business results…and
help those around you grow!
-Play to each other’s strengths.
