Learning to Lead In Work & Life

Learning to Lead In Work & Life

For five generations, Gordon Food Service has provided the highest-quality food services and products to their customers. And while their mission has remained the same, their approach has evolved. Leadership development methods shifted, and Gordon Food Service needed a new way to develop their leaders across a rapidly-expanding company. They partnered with The John Maxwell Company to develop a core curriculum featuring John C. Maxwell’s book, Developing the Leader Within You, and created a consistent culture across each of their sites. They worked with John Maxwell Company trainers to train their staff so their language, approach and practices were consistent from day one. The training has not only made employees better at work, but as one of them said, “You’re making me a better father, too.” Learn more about the Gordon Food Service story and how The John Maxwell Company helped them make their people better at work and in life.
