About J Gardner Group

An accomplished leader, Jim’s focus today is to share with others as a leadership coach, advisor, and author. Following his leader development studies at the University of North Georgia, Jim was commissioned and advanced in his 27-year U.S. Army career to the rank of Colonel. His global responsibilities in command and senior staff positions spanned from deployable combat units, complex field hospital operations, to the Pentagon.
 

Building upon this experience, he then successfully pursued a corporate career, making a positive difference in each organization serving in leadership positions within global corporations, privately owned companies, and entrepreneurial startups. 

As co-founder/CEO of Chambers Bay Institute, he led a team of highly select, subject matter experts, who helped to develop leaders who could lead transformational change to build the future. It was there that the term "Integrator Leader" was coined and is the theme of his timeless book "Seeing What Isn't There - A Leader's Guide to Creating Change in a Complex World".

In his current role, Jim is Founder/Owner of J Gardner Group, where he is dedicated to lending his skills and experience to assist leaders in becoming more effective. 

His spirit of service has led him to accept invitations to serve in leadership and advisory positions on various non-profit boards in academia, local government, and the community.

Jim is driven by his commitment to developing capable leaders of character, who can effectively thrive in our complex world, guided by his leadership philosophy – it’s all about WE, not ME.
