In 1948, a seasoned executive found himself grappling with a frustrating challenge: how to prepare the next wave of front-line managers. Having climbed the ranks at one of America's largest corporations, he had seen enough of the boardroom mindset that viewed employees as mere cogs in the profit machine. It didn’t sit right with him. Instead of walking away, he chose a different path. He envisioned a radical transformation of corporate culture—one that put people at the heart of business.

For over a decade, he quietly worked behind the scenes, crafting a revolutionary approach to leadership that redefined how companies could nurture their most valuable resource: their people. Drawing from his deep faith, as well as his love for philosophy and history, Greenleaf began to imagine something new. The result? The first-ever Corporate Assessment Center—an unprecedented initiative where future leaders would be assessed not just on technical skills, but on their ability to lead by serving others. This groundbreaking idea laid the foundation for a leadership philosophy that would reverberate across corporate America: servant leadership.

In 1970, Greenleaf gave this philosophy a name and a voice with his essay The Servant as Leader. In it, he distilled a leadership model that stretches back to ancient times, a model most powerfully embodied by a carpenter from Galilee: Jesus of Nazareth.

Greenleaf’s model has reshaped how leadership is viewed in boardrooms and beyond, offering a timeless lesson: real leadership isn’t about power or authority; it’s about serving others.

Which is why on this episode of Success by The Book our three servant leaders themselves will be unpacking how anyone in mortgage and real estate can become a beloved servant leader. Join Coach Bill Hart, Dale Vermillion, and Kyle Draper for another episode applying timeless Biblical principles to life and business.

On January 16, 1840, two midshipmen aboard the USS Peacock peered into the icy distance and saw something that could have altered the course of history: the vast, mountainous expanse of Antarctica. But their discovery was dismissed, unlogged, and forgotten. Why? The Peacock's captain, Lt. William L. Hudson, fearing the wrath of his overbearing commander, chose to stay below deck, ignoring the sailors’ report—and with it, the chance for glory.

It wasn’t until 12 days later that the expedition's lead ship finally confirmed the sighting. By then, French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville had beaten them to the punch, claiming the honor of discovering Antarctica on January 20th.

This is more than just a story of missed opportunity. It's a reminder that vision—true, forward-looking vision—shouldn't be the privilege of a select few. When leadership stifles the input of its team, great opportunities slip through the cracks.

On this episode of Success by The Book, Coach Bill Hart, Dale Vermillion, and Kyle Draper will dive into how to cast a vision for success and, crucially, how to involve your entire organization so no opportunity is overlooked.

One of the most lacking foundations in too many offices is a culture of encouragement. Research shows that it takes five positive interactions to counteract just one negative interaction, and let’s be honest, we have more than one negative interaction a week as mortgage pros.

Join Dale and Jake Vermillion as they unpack why the Bible is not only adamant about the need (and power) of encouragement, but is itself one of the greatest encouragers ever known to mankind.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." The reality is that as mortgage professionals, it’s easy to feel down on our luck. But the only path is through, and that means finding the moxie to just keep working.

Join Coach Bill Hart, Dale Vermillion, and Kyle Draper as they explore why work ethic is so important in this industry (and this market), how to balance hard work with smart work, and where originators can find the motivation they need to keep making their own luck.
