081 Wes Stafford "His story, leadership lessons and the rise of Compassion"

Right-Side Up Leadership Podcast

Published on 03/26/2020

On today's episode, Alan has a very rich discussion with Dr. Wess Stafford, President Emeritus of Compassion International. Wess shares his story, the story of Compassion International, as well as valuable leadership lessons he's learned throughout his life. Wess often says, “Everything I really need to know to lead a multinational organization I learned from the poor, growing up in an African village.” About Wess: Dr. Wess Stafford, President Emeritus of Compassion International, is an internationally recognized advocate for children in poverty. As the son of missionaries to the Ivory Coast, Wess grew up as one of the village children cared for by a wise and loving African “extended family.” But his young heart was often broken as he watched his African friends die from the cruel ravages of poverty. Wess felt privileged to continue his parents’ commitment to the poor through the ministry of Compassion International. Wess joined the staff of Compassion International in 1977 and worked with the ministry, both overseas and at headquarters. He served as President for 20 years. Wess is a veteran, having served four years in the U.S. Army as a linguist in military intelligence. Connect with Wess: Twitter: Wess_Stafford Books: https://amzn.to/2UxNfiw Compassion International
