Today on The Servant Leadership Podcast, we hear from Cheryl Bachelder, a highly respected business leader who transformed Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen into one of the most successful restaurant brands in the world. Cheryl has built a career on servant leadership, leading with purpose, and driving results. As the former CEO of Popeyes, she took the company from declining sales and struggling franchisees to record-breaking growth—all by putting people first. Under her leadership, Popeyes experienced unprecedented success, with franchisees thriving, customer satisfaction soaring, and the brand reaching new heights—all while fostering a culture of trust and service. Cheryl has also held executive roles at KFC, Domino’s, and Chick-fil-A, making her a leader in shaping how businesses succeed through servant leadership. In her book, “Dare to Serve,” Cheryl shares her bold philosophy on leadership—how putting others first isn’t just good ethics, but great business. I’m excited for her to share today how servant leadership can empower your team, accelerate growth, and drive real results.
