Jordan Harbinger: The Jordan Harbinger Show

Jordan Harbinger is the critically acclaimed host of The Jordan Harbinger Show. He interviews legendary musicians to intelligence operatives, iconoclastic writers to visionary change-makers. 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.
