Pull don’t push, people.- Get input from the team – What do you think we should do?
- Cast the vision and make sure everyone understands where it is you’re heading with the business.
- Acknowledge and appreciate people.
- Put people in the right roles.
- Understand your team and build systems around their roles and strengths.
- Set expectation and then give people the freedom to get the job done in their own way. Remember, there’s more than one way to sell real estate.
- Mentor without judgment and in complete honesty.
- Don’t blow off steam with your team.
- Don’t hire an audience to impress with your flair; hire achievers. With that said, don’t hire people with more potential than you have space on your team for.
- Be intentional, about where you’re trying to grow, because it’s easy to be enticed by opportunities all over the place.
- Establish solid boundaries so that the professional relationships with your team member always come first and the personal relationships second.
- Make sure your open-door policy doesn’t give your team members the impression they can interrupt you whenever they want to.
- Don’t let your “l can’t lose” attitude allow you to exhaust yourself trying to save people who aren’t getting the job done.
- No longer hire challenging people; hire great people who have challenges you can work with them on.
Carpe diem,
