Building Up #17 | Vietnam Vet to Banking Executive: Faith Based Leadership | Greg Woolsey

from The Building Up Podcast · host buildingupwc

In this episode, Luke is joined by his father, Greg Woolsey, who shares how his journey from military service in Vietnam to a career in banking shaped his leadership philosophy. As a young gunnery expert, Greg was quickly promoted to oversee artillery operations—an experience that laid the groundwork for his disciplined and mission-focused approach to leadership. Later, while attending the Pacific Coast School of Banking, he became disillusioned with the lack of effective leadership in the industry. This inspired him to write a thesis on faith-based solutions to faulty leadership. Greg also shares a powerful analogy about communication, emphasizing that leaders must take responsibility for being clearly understood. His story is a compelling blend of military precision, faith-driven values, and a lifelong commitment to leading with integrity.
