About Jake Brodsgaard
I try to inspire and empower the teams I lead. My success (and my team’s) is the result of embracing the ADAMA leadership framework to guide us as we make daily decisions which drive the success of our company and ultimately the success of our distribution and ag retail customers and growers across North America. When you share behaviors that transcend all levels, each person develops the mastery needed for their role and contributes the maximum value they can provide. Inspire: I seek to define a clear vision for our go-to-market strategy and the way to achieve our goals. I want to spark belief and engagement in my teams so that we can build a sustainable future. Make Us Better: It’s important to show the team the way as well as empower them to make informed decisions. From providing feedback to coaching and providing mentoring opportunities, I aim to pave the way for individuals to see and reach their full potential.Earning Trust: By having an open-door policy and flat hierarchy, I’ve been able to develop personal relationships with my employees. This is deeply rooted in my career experience which started with creating trusted relationships with local growers. Freedom in a Framework: I strive to motivate people and allow them the freedom to be creative problem solvers. I want them to take the initiative and reach their potential and drive innovation for our customers. Having learned from the ground up, I know how important leadership with integrity is to the success of an organization. I strive to have a solid understanding of the business’s processes, cross-functional/cross-cultural needs, and key business drivers so I can decisively execute growth strategies for both the business and the employees who drive it.
