This episode is a conversation with Charles Ament. I found this to be a conversation filled with genuine reflection. Coach Ament wrestles with servant-leadership as continual growth and struggle, that it is something we are always in training to become, and probes for deeper understandings throughout our conversation. He also highlights that service to others is often an outgrowth of developing greater purpose, the power of humility and vulnerability in relationships, and the power of asking great questions, questions that provide an opportunity for others to learn more about themselves.
Charles Ament is the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Langham Creek High School in Houston, TX. Coach Ament has been the Head Coach of the Lobos since 2007, and his tenure features 10 playoff appearances, and 6 20-win seasons. Beyond his record on the court, I believe Coach Ament is someone who truly embodies commitment to the growth of people, one of the Ten Characteristics of Servant-Leadership, a list developed by Larry Spears, President & CEO of the Spears Center for Servant-Leadership.
