How growing up in the New York housing projects set the tone for how Jordan communicated, and he saw nothing wrong with it!
Dealing with bullies in the workplace – what to do if you are one, what to do if you work with one

Key Takeaways

Leaders in the workplace have to drive results

You have to do both!

As Founder and CEO of Workplace Warrior®, Inc., Jordan Goldrich partners with leaders and executives with an uncommon desire for results, who take charge, lead their teams and accomplish the mission. Jordan believes they are critical for success in our volatile, complex and uncertain times. Sometimes, they are experienced as abrasive and occasionally get called names like bully. Jordan’s mission is to help them be completely authentic, fulfill their mission, achieve respect, and positive relationships while taking performance to an even higher level. 

Jordan comes to you as one of those people. He once lost a job because he was experienced as disrespectful. He made the commitment to communicate respectfully even when my brain was telling me they don't deserve it and he has helped many others do the same. 

​Jordan is a Chief Operations Officer, a Master Corporate Executive Coach and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He is the author of the Amazon best seller, Workplace Warrior®: People Skills For The No-Bullshit Executive and the Producer and Host of the Podcast Workplace Warrior: Drive Results Without Damaging Relationships®.
