Cheryl Bachelder joined an ailing restaurant chain and turned it into the darling of the industry—by daring to serve the people in her organization well. When Bachelder was named CEO of Popeyes in the fall of 2007, guest visits had been declining for years, restaurant sales and profit trends were negative, and the company stock price had dropped from $34 in 2002 to $13. The brand was stagnant, and relations between the company and its franchise owners were strained. By 2014, average restaurant sales were up 25 percent, and profits were up 40 percent. Popeyes' market share had grown from 14 percent to 21 percent, and the stock price was over $40. The franchisees were so pleased with the turnaround that they began reinvesting in the brand, rapidly remodeling restaurants, and building new units around the world. The difference maker, Bachelder says, was a conscious decision to lead in a new way. She and her team created a workplace where people were treated with respect and dignity yet challenged to perform at the highest level. Silos and self were set aside in favor of collaboration and team play. And the results were measured with rigor and discipline. Servant leadership is sometimes derided as soft or ineffective, but this book shows that it's actually challenging and tough minded—a daring path. Bachelder takes you firsthand through the transformation of Popeyes and shows how a leader at any level can become a Dare-to-Serve leader.

Review “With high-level experience at companies such as KFC and Domino's Pizza, coupled with stellar stock prices and profit margins at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Bachelder has the credentials for writing about leadership. Characterized in a Restaurant News article as a “modest buttoned up data wonk” who turned out to be a transformative leader, the author speaks at length in the first half of the book about the four pillars guiding Popeyes's turnaround and long-term strategy. Much of her subsequent advice about empowering employees, building consensus, setting ambitious goals, and tying daily work to a higher purpose echoes that of other recent management books. What sets hers apart is an emphasis on “servant leadership,” meaning focusing on others instead of self and achieving solid results by being humble, accountable, and modeling personal values at work. Specific tools for assessing accountability, articulating one's “personal purpose,” and identifying individual talents in self and subordinates are listed. VERDICT While the chatty storytelling style can be off-putting, quotes from thinkers as various as Nelson Mandela and Helen Keller are interspersed throughout with some 40 reflections meant to move the reader from understanding this management philosophy to implementing it. Recommended for those wishing to explore servant leadership in corporate America.”—Elizabeth Wood, Bowling Green State“Extraordinary! Dare to Serve describes the kind of leadership so desperately needed in the 21st century. A powerful blend of courage and humility, Cheryl Bachelder's engaging story offers a clear path for leaders to follow, and what makes her message so compelling is the tremendous results she's produced. I highly recommend this book.”—Stephen M. R. Covey, #1 bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and coauthor of Smart Trust “Dare to Serve is a crisp narrative of Cheryl's profound leadership journey as a corporate executive.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn how it's done!”—Denise Ramos, CEO and President, ITT Corporation “When I speak with leaders, it is hard for them to grasp that servant leadership drives both great performance and great human satisfaction. Cheryl Bachelder provides an inspiring manual on how to be a Dare-to-Serve leader who drives superior results.”—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level “It has been a long time since I have read a book from beginning to end in one sitting, but that is exactly what I did with Dare to Serve, and I had to force myself not to read it again right then and there! It is truly a masterpiece and I will be sharing it with many friends, including those whom I am mentoring, just as soon as it is on the bookstands.”—Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus, Southwest Airlines, and coauthor of Lead with LUV“Anyone who leads anything will learn from the crisp and engaging stories in Dare to Serve.

This book is a must-read for leaders of all kinds!”—Phil Cordell, Global Head, Focused Service and Hampton Brand Management, Hilton Worldwide“Compelling and inspiring! Bachelder makes the case for her people-focused approach to leadership through her real-life experience at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. Developed and honed in an industry where service to others is at the very core of what we do, these lessons are sure to translate not only across industries but to our personal lives as well.”—Dawn Sweeney, President and CEO, National Restaurant Association “Cheryl Bachelder's brave and unconventional approach to the turnaround of Popeyes challenges all of us to step up our game. Cheryl stands in the gap for us, calling us to a purpose that will drive better results for our organizations, while putting the needs of our people and customers ahead of our own.”—Scott MacLellan, CEO, TouchPoint Support Services, a Compass Group company“By focusing on the purpose-driven success of those she leads, paradoxically, Cheryl Bachelder gets the results we all want from our organizations. Dare to Serve is about the gutsy principles she applied to a business desperately in need of a turnaround and the spectacular results she achieved.”—Tim Irwin, PhD, bestselling author of Impact“This book turned my thinking upside-down. Cheryl shares her road-tested wisdom and shows how and why Dare-to-Serve leadership works so brilliantly. This is a game-changing book and should be required reading for all leaders.”—Art Barter, President and CEO, Datron Holdings, Inc., and founder and CEO, Servant Leadership Institute“Dare to Serve is a game changer!

Miller Cheryl Bachelder, the CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, pens a clear-eyed, forthright case study for servant leadership. Although the key theme of her book is serving others, she forgoes the platitudes and "feel good" elements that tend to accompany this type of message and instead offers a specific game plan for how she helped turn this restaurant chain around by daring to serve.One of the things I most appreciated about this book is Bachelder’s willingness to take an honest look at her flaws (even talented CEOs have them!) and describe how, earlier in her career, she was focused on achievement based on only her personal goals. When she repositioned the way she saw leadership—as an opportunity to serve others—she was able to achieve results in a different way. This humble stance makes the advice in the book seem accessible. Indeed, humility is a strong theme in the book, appearing again and again throughout the pages. She offers this important distinction about humility: “Humility is not being a doormat, it is simply thinking less about our own needs—and more about the needs of others.” Bachelder says this shift in focus allows us to “exit [the leadership] spotlight” and instead shine the lights on other’s contributions.This book has the right mix of "how to" advice interspersed with personal anecdotes. It would be perfect for any person with leadership responsibility (at work, at home, or in the community) who wishes to make a bigger impact.

McConaughy I learned about servant leadership in the 1970's and, when being in positions of leadership since then, have always tried to live my life according to the philosophy and practices it represents. Robert Greenleaf, the originator of servant leadership, proposed that leadership was a continuum with people who wanted to serve first on one end and those who wanted to lead first on the other end. The leader first was typically after power and possessions. The servant first was focused on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong. Enter Cheryl Bachelder forty years later, on becoming CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc., along with her leadership team rediscovering the idea of servant leadership. This is a great book about what a difference servant leadership can make in a major corporation. It's a story about a major change of organizational culture, a story about rebuilding trust where it had been lost, and a story about turning a chain of restaurants from a financial downturn to unprecedented success. It's fun to read. It's instructive. It's engaging. It reinvigorated my personal commitment to the philosophy of servant leadership. It reestablished my willingness to dare to serve.

By Rebecca Henderson Cheryl Bachelder’s “Dare to Serve” is a quick and easy read, but filled with absolute timeless wisdom. Perhaps the subtitle, “How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others” sums everything in the book up in a tidy phrase.“Dare to Serve” could easily be read in an afternoon, but I urge you to read it more carefully while letting each morsel of wisdom – and there are many – fully sink into your mind. I love quotes, and Bachelder has filled the book with many. My favorite is one by Helen Keller on page 81: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” In addition to quotes, the author has placed pithy Dare-to-Serve Reflections strategically throughout the book. The one most meaningful to me is on page 60: “If you knew the top-priority values of the people on your team, how would you lead more effectively?”While Cheryl Bachelder has written many important sentences in “Dare to Serve”, to me the most important one is found in her bio, on page 182. She states that she and her husband are raising their children “with no manual other than the Bible.” Wonderfully wise words well written!
