Ignition. This means igniting focus and performance by setting a clear course and aligning what both you and your team members want through measurable, individual, and contribution-based goals. Trust. This means trusting your people to meet objectives and control outcomes in the ways they know best based on their experiences, skill sets, and talents. Feedback. This means providing regular, helpful feedback and celebrating progress and initiative. Good feedback exposes growth and learning opportunities along the way and encourages those you’re managing to stretch into new responsibilities.
Managers in the real estate industry often work long hours. It’s important to guard your high-energy hours and make sure you’re using them for your most important work.
This research tells us two things: 1. If you’re struggling with these issues, you’re not alone—it’s one of the hardest parts of being a leader. 2. Those who possess the courage to admit it’s a problem, confront it as a weakness that needs to be addressed, and commit to making improvements will emerge as better leaders.
The industry has done a poor job of identifying individuals who will thrive in the agent role. One way to begin correcting this problem is to conduct better interviews. That’s why we recently published The Ultimate Interview Guide, and we’re offering it as a free resource to Recruiting Insight readers.
