Michael Gordon Potter is a Chief Executive Officer at Gordon Electric Supply Inc based in Frankfort, Illinois, United States, North America. Gordon’s mission is to be so valued by our customers that they choose us first and encourage others to select us. To me, it’s an enduring pursuit to create value in the world. The simple equation that we are successful when our customers are successful is good logic, but it’s not enough in 2025. To fulfill our mission for our customers and operate as a quality distributor, we strive to create value in all our relationships specifically employees, vendors, neighbors, and the Earth. As a family business of 70 years, we are well-positioned and growing. Every year we strategically invest in new technology and training to enhance the abilities of our BRACERS and our managers. Making it easy to do business should be considered the bare minimum in today’s market. In fact, we guarantee our service, meeting expectations with accuracy and timeliness, remaining flexible for a customer’s project-specific needs, and going the extra mile to ensure a project runs smoothly. Customers get a unique experience from Gordon because our Team members are resourceful and empowered to quickly find a reliable solution. Professionally, my job is to set the direction for our company and make sure everyone can see the path ahead. Personally, my goal is to see that everybody wins. As a leader I am determined to find the optimal long-term path, plan and execute team-driven strategies, and hold the group together despite the individual hurdles, failures, and emotions that can hinder organizational-performance. I approach people with optimism and empathy. I value growth through continuous improvement, compassion, health, diversity, independence, education, and FUN. I am interested in business, sailing, transcendental meditation, traveling, community service, and trying new things. Being an intentional and curious leader, I look forward to discussing and sharing with you opportunities for partnership, employment, recreation, and community development. -Mike
