leadership: Take Action: Remind Them Don't Grind Them - 12/01/20 07:38 AM
"People need to be reminded
more than they need to be instructed."
Author, Samuel Johnson
 
Your action for today
is to reflect on a favorite book
or story and reconnect with the lesson
or idea that was presented.
 
 
As a community leader and as
a coach-able entrepreneur,
the reason I value mastermind groups 
and my 20+ years of being coached by 
amazing companies like:
Buffini & Company, Sandler Sales,
Michael E. Gerber's E-Myth Academy, etc.
is because they remind me constantly of what 
I seem to forget often. We all get busy and drift,
mentors, coaches and leaders can remind us to
reset our sails occasionally to stay the course.
They remind me more than … (7 comments)

"Managing to have a sense of humor
makes it much easier to manage people."
~ Psychologist, Steve Wilson
 
Your action for today
is to have a good laugh about
one of your funny quirks.
 
 
 I have discovered in both business ownership and community leadership,
levity goes a long way with people's learning and loyalty.
Real estate is serious business, but its not life or death,
and it can even be fun...remember fun?
Therefore we need to lighten up and deliver it with a smile.
While we can and should take the responsibility of it seriously;
 levity can be the lubricant for its smoother execution and delivery.
So, lighten up man! Don't take yourself so seriously.😉

leadership: The new reality or Day Ten of how we conduct our real estate business... - 03/30/20 11:53 PM
Endre Barath, Jr. made so many great points in his post today, (good job Endre) I wanted to be a megaphone for his blog post. I'm hoping you will read his motivational message and positive post and share it with your peeps. Leadership and cooler heads will prevail with facts over fear and taking your REALTOR hat off long enough to check in with your peeps using  your two ears and one mouth. Let them hear you listen. Please give your comments to Endre's blog.

leadership: It's Not Membership, It's Ownership If You Want The Good Life You Seek - 07/16/17 12:23 PM
I'm just thinking out loud again, brainstorming ideas on how to get more out of my time in ActiveRain, provoked by recent members posting about canceling their accounts ("because AR doesn't work") and or weighing their options on to remain a Free vs. Paid account holder.
I suppose I'm letting you in on the lecture I gave myself as I evaluated how I spend my time in The Rain. That's when it occurred to me, in order to get more from ActiveRain, I need to give more to ActiveRain first. It's the same advice I give my Business Alliance Group members owners; I can't show up wanting, … (36 comments)

leadership: They Don't Quit The Job, They Quit The Leader - 06/02/17 10:36 AM
  Your employees and team members do not quit their job, they quit your leadership or lack there of. I was listening to Darren Hardy speak on this topic in his Darren Daily this morning and it struck me as true. Then I began to wonder, what kind of leader am I? What kind of leader are you?   Darren gave 6 reasons why team members quit and it's a staggering 1/5 presently are looking for greener pastures. People do not leave jobs, they leave leaders. Why?       Here's the Top 6 Reasons Darren Hardy offered and my take … (47 comments)

leadership: Leading By Example - 06/08/15 03:48 AM
Top 10: Ways to Lead by Example
by Thomas J. Nelson
 
 
Good leaders must lead by example. Through their actions, which are aligned with what they say, they become a person others want to follow. When leaders say one thing but do another, they erode trust, a critical element of productive leadership. Here are 10 of the dozens of ways to lead by example.
 
1. Take responsibility. Blame costs you your credibility, keeps team members on the defensive and ultimately sabotages real growth. The greatest way to diffuse a situation where a mistake was made is to simply own your error, apologize and … (6 comments)
