Mark Villarreal was raised in Texas and is the youngest of 7 children, because of this he had a close relationship with his mother. Early in Mark’s business career he realized that it is a privilege as well as a responsibility to coach and help develop people to success. Based on his experiences and growing up with his mother he saw early on the examples of good leadership. Thus the idea of being a servant leader was born. Mark believes that servant leaders advance because they believe humility is a strength, not a weakness, which allows them to understand they can learn from everyone, and they do. Great leaders build everything on a solid foundation of values and principles and their reward is the success and growth of those they lead. Great leaders pay it forward.
