That makes for a diverse classroom and an
interesting set of experiences.
How does the program challenge you to
be a leader and how have your basketball
experiences helped you in that capacity?
Fuqua is what they call a “team school.” You
are divided into five-person teams. You do
half your course work in those teams and the
other half on individual basis. Being able to
collaborate in these teams in a productive
manner is important, and the team leader
switches every project. Being able to lead
your team when it comes time is a lot like
this team setting and what I’ve learned from
Coach. The skills that he and the program
have equipped me with really help in those
settings just getting everything done and
organized, and being able to motivate your
team to work productively together.
Have you guys done any interesting
projects or events to help build leadership
and camaraderie?
We went to a campground and did various
leadership-oriented physical challenges. We
did the ropes course and different relay races
and things of that nature. It was a fun day.
You got to know your teammates better.
Where will we see Jordan Davidson five
years from now?
Hopefully I will be partnered with one my
teammates and will have opened my own
business by then, maybe with Zoubs, and
hopefully making some money somewhere.
If Coach K were to teach over at Fuqua as
part of this program, what would you name
Jordan in front of the Fuqua School of Business, located across the street from Cameron
the title of his course?
Leadership 101: Just Get It Done. He would be an unbelievable businessman!
“The MMS program, like all of Fuqua’s programs, places a huge emphasis on the ability to work in teams.
Fuqua’s students are a team in every sense of the word: the program design and rigor of the academic ex-
perience require them to work together; they share a common goal for success; they understand individual
achievement enhances the entire team; and they fully embrace placing the good of the team before their
own self-interest.
Having a student like Jordan in the program clearly is a tremendous asset to the MMS experience, as he
brings an outstanding sense of teamwork to the program. As a student and an athlete, he models the
behavior Fuqua aspires for in MMS students. Further, Jordan is an extremely generous and collaborative
member of the Duke community, making an outstanding contribution as a teammate in the classroom as
well as on the court.”
