ELITE Servant Leadership works because it requires Your Absolute Best.
There isn't an organization of ANY kind that doesn't get sustained ELITE results from Servant Leadership. Every organization that implements Servant Leadership thrives and becomes the standard. I am on a mission to show the world that ELITE Servant Leadership is THE WAY to lead. Not simply A WAY to lead.
One of the reasons it works so well is that it demands YOUR absolute best. ELITE Servant Leadership builds world class people that in turn build world class programs.

Bob Ladouceur’s Coaching Principles in ELITE Servant Leadership Language
E – Essential
- Ladouceur’s View: Every player had intrinsic value beyond wins and losses. He stressed that football was only a tool to build men of character, not the end itself.
- ELITE Framing: To be Essential is to recognize your irreplaceable worth and to focus relentlessly on what matters most. Ladouceur treated players as whole people, not just athletes, making personal development as important as performance.
L – Lethal
- Ladouceur’s View: His teams were disciplined and relentless in execution. He focused on doing the basics better than anyone else—blocking, tackling, conditioning, and effort. Excuses were not tolerated.
- ELITE Framing: Lethality is precision in execution and an “excuse-free” pursuit of results. Ladouceur instilled a mindset of disciplined excellence where attention to detail turned ordinary plays into unstoppable weapons.
I – Innovative
- Ladouceur’s View: He revolutionized high school football by introducing concepts of family, brotherhood, and accountability as central to a team’s culture. His use of film study, mental training, and personal journaling was ahead of its time.
- ELITE Framing: Innovation is finding new ways to win through culture, not just strategy. Ladouceur innovated by making love, trust, and unity the foundation of competitive advantage—a radical idea in a sport obsessed with toughness.
T – Trustworthy
- Ladouceur’s View: Integrity and trust were cornerstones. He emphasized honesty, keeping commitments, and being accountable to teammates. Players bought in because they trusted him—he lived what he demanded.
- ELITE Framing: Trustworthiness builds unshakable teams. By modeling consistency, humility, and sacrifice, Ladouceur earned absolute trust from players, coaches, and families—fueling sustained dominance.
E – Exceptional
- Ladouceur’s View: He defined success not by the scoreboard but by becoming the best version of yourself. Winning was a byproduct of living with discipline, brotherhood, and love. His legacy is measured in lives changed, not just games won.
- ELITE Framing: Exceptional leaders pursue transformation, not just trophies. Ladouceur created an environment where excellence was the standard, and generations of young men became leaders, fathers, and citizens shaped by his influence.
