    Episode 181: Servant Leadership: Allow Yourself To Be Influenced By Others With Chris West

    Growing up as a pastor’s kid in Grand Junction, Colorado, Chris West learned early on that leadership is not about directing others, but about serving them. Today, as the CEO of DWC CPAs and Advisors, Chris credits his servant leadership philosophy for his ability to maintain a people-first culture and guide the firm through its impressive 80-year history. Join us as Chris details his unique path, from his initial aspirations of becoming an archaeologist to his 30-year tenure at DWC CPAs. We discuss how his father’s influence shaped his commitment to listening, extending trust, and allowing himself to be influenced by those he leads. Chris also reflects on bridging generational gaps in the workplace, finding personal purpose through Simon Sinek’s Find Your Why framework, and rediscovering his creative passions. This conversation offers a profound look at how personal values drive professional legacy and long-term career fulfillment.
