Matthew Newman is the Senior Vice President at Good Foods Group LLC. His 22+ year career has taken him through a wide array of management and sales roles and given him great experience with and insight into effectively leading people. From his early days of earning a Masters Degree while working and parenting three young children, Matthew has learned that empowering people is the key to success.

Matthew follows a model called servant leadership in his management career. The philosophy behind it is simple: to put others first and empower others to succeed. There is a cascade effect that comes with a servant leadership mentality, one that resonates from leaders out into teams: it brings everyone together and into greater unified interaction. Part of building culture is empowerment and connection, especially in the disconnect of COVID times when much of our interaction becomes focused on a screen instead of person to person.

In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and Matthew Newman discuss the benefits of a servant leadership philosophy on a company’s success and how it can translate into greater fiscal return. Matthew stresses the importance of empowering your people, of building a culture based on who people are and not just what work they do, and how coaching and mentorship encourage greater success than simply delegating or handing out solutions.
