Jordan Harbinger: The Jordan Harbinger Show

Then he deconstructs the playbooks of the most successful people and challenges his audience to use those insights in their own lives.

Key Points

  • Leaders must be advocates for their team.
  • Charming a superior is typically only good for short-term gains, whereas advocating for your team will lay a foundation for future success.
  • Research people you re nervous about meeting, and the more you learn, the more you ll begin to see they re just normal people.
  • If you re running a meeting, people want you to set the agenda and control the flow.
  • When there is a power distance, do whatever you can to make the distance feel smaller.
  • Research the person you re going to meet with and find something you have in common. This is a way to reach out to them and make you stand out.
