Principled Leadership Turns Around SBLI USA Mutual Life Insurance

When Vicki Pryor accepted leadership responsibility of this troubled company in 1999, she was told that most employees would need to be terminated. The company had a massive shortage of resources. In fact, most employees did not even have computers. Pryor explained many principles she used in her values-based, servant leadership during the turnaround of SBLI, some of these principles included:

* Recognize that what servant leaders must do today, is set an example
* Embrace that our beliefs are not enough, we must act on them
* Courageously (bring together the team) in a spirit of community to serve each other
