Learn to Lead by Serving was Dustin’s first book, which gave Dustin motivation to keep fighting through a difficult period. The first edition is the foundational building blocks for understanding servant leadership and how to approach the idea of becoming a servant leader through implementation. A significant success factor in the first book doing so well is that the lessons allow the readers to journal their thoughts, create action plans, and provides a safe place for reflection. Leaders must feel comfortable addressing the areas in their personal and professional life that need improvement and feel equipped with the right mindset. 

The first book’s success allowed Dustin to write and publish his second book, “Learn to Lead by Serving 2.” The investment into the book sets the tone with over 25 quotes shared throughout the lessons that will help leaders think differently about their leadership. Another winning aspect is that the book tackles very controversial topics that are relevant in the current workplace. Dustin is assisting companies in realizing that leadership is more than checking a box and that servant leadership is about leading with authenticity. Both best-selling books have engaged many audiences worldwide, allowing Dustin to bring his message to all industries.

He now shares his personal success story to help many know they are not alone and can be victorious in their battles.
