How Ownership Transforms a Team with Monique Love

When Monique Love joined Alaska Auto Rental, she thought she was signing up for a short-term gig. And then she forgot to leave. In this episode, I sit down with Monique Love, Operations Director at Alaska Auto Rental and a lifelong champion of servant leadership. We talk about her unexpected journey from running Frostbite Foods to guiding a rapidly evolving, employee-owned company… and how a team of teenagers helped her understand her calling in a new light.Monique shares why deep curiosity is one of the most underrated leadership tools, and how she’s helping young team members develop strong roots before they step into the wider world. We dive into their culture meetings, accountability, the power of asking better questions, and the surprising joy she finds when her team no longer needs her to solve their problems.It’s a refreshingly honest conversation about humility, growth, and building a workplace where people don’t just show up, they rise.My free PDF, “The 5 Secrets of Impossibly Effective Teams,” will show you the simple leadership moves that help teams unlock their full potential and deliver outsized results, without burning out.
