The key to successful leadership is the capacity to be a dedicated servant. Although I've been a businessman, a parliamentarian, a community leader and volunteer, husband, father and a grandfather, through it all I have been a servant. I talk about these experiences in my memoir, "From the Wood Chair to the Green Chair". And in this podcast we feature conversations with a who’s who of successful leaders, and learn how they achieved what they did by being authentic servants. These stories might even inspire you to become a servant, and run for public office.

episode 3: Affordable Housing - The Solutions Exist, So What's the Issue?
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 3, of The Life of a Servant.
In this episode, Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka, Scott Aitchison, and Bala Legion President, Dennis Mills, talk about the need for affordable housing in Bala, Ontario. They describe a community-planned solution that would provide assisted living to people over the age of 55. The plans are in place. The community partners are totally supported. Shovels could be in the ground in a matter months, with affordable housing solutions open and operating less than a year after that.
Listen to this episode of The Life of a Servant to learn more about some of the challenges in delivering solutions to the affordable housing crisis in Canada. You'll also hear several practical and passionate suggestions from Scott Aitchison, who not only serves as a highly distinguished Parliamentarian, but whose work exemplifies what it means to be a servant-leader.
