Leaders Who Lead VS Leaders Who Follow
Leadership expert John C. Maxwell once said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” Few people understand that truth more deeply than Ricky Kidd. Wrongfully incarcerated for 23 years for a crime he didn’t commit, Ricky’s fate was shaped—again and again—by leaders of every kind. Poor leadership stole his freedom. Exceptional leadership helped restore it. And his own unwavering leadership carried him forward, transforming him into a nationally recognized speaker, author, and playwright.
In this powerful keynote, Ricky takes audiences inside his journey to reveal what leadership really is—not the title, not the position, but the courage, clarity, and conviction required to lead when everything is on the line. He shows that true leadership elevates others, sets higher standards, and creates a ripple effect capable of changing lives, organizations, and entire systems.
In this presentation, audiences will learn:
The leaders we often see versus the leaders we must become
Why high-quality leadership matters now more than ever
How to practice anti-racism leadership that confronts bias and drives equity
How deep, authentic leadership inspires people to rise beyond limitations
