"Your job as a leader within a division, part or all of the organization is how do you quicken that cadence? How do you cause more rapid firing of cylinders? And the foundation of all of that is what is mission? What does this organization stand for? What is its purpose?"
Robert Jordan is an experienced leader in the B2B space, having founded the world's first internet coverage magazine, sold multiple companies, and co-founded Interim Execs. He is also an author, having written books such as How They Did It, Right Leader, Right Type, and Start With No.
Robert Jordan and his wife experienced an immense crisis when their daughter was born at 1.5 oz, needing open heart surgery. In the neonatal intensive care unit, Robert was calmed by the presence of the surgeon and her team and knew they were in good hands. After 25 years, Robert Jordan's daughter is a healthy, happy graduate student.
This experience inspired Robert to research and write about leadership styles, discovering four distinct styles: Fixer, Artist, Builder, and Strategist. He now helps others to find their authentic leadership style and boost team performance.
