The Making of a Leader

The Making of a Good Leader

Every person has the opportunity to exhibit good leadership qualities. As a realtor in Lancaster, PA, I understand this better than most. I spent 22 years as a pastor and learned so much about leadership. Helping sellers and buyers in a transaction in the Lancaster, PA real estate business also includes important leadership traits.

The first quality of leadership I articulate is, "Positive, Passionate Presence." If you are in the business of leadership in your occupation or family, you must be present. For the buyer or seller in Lancaster, PA a realtor needs to be present for showings, inspections, to field questions, give timely feedback and work effectively.

A good leader realizes it is necessary to be present from a symbolic standpoint. I was criticized when I was a pastor when I was not present during a week long Vacation Bible School. I came to understand when I had no responsibility at an event, I still needed to be present to show my support and to encourage those who were responsible. The same is true for a realtor who works in advocacy for his/her client.

Without positive, passionate presence, a Lancaster, PA real estate professional will be less successful in doing his/her job. If there is a leadership vacuum, a leader will arise and exert leadership.

How well are you doing in developing your positive, passionate presence leadership quality? Do you need to improve?

If you are in need of a Lancaster, PA realtor who understands how being a good leader will better serve your real estate needs, contact me.

Carol,

thanks for stopping by and best to you.

Barbara,

You are correct. Every day should include a short period of self reflection on our actions of the day and how we might become better human beings. Thanks for your comments.

Mike,

Thanks & best of luck to you.

Cal,

I think I'm doing pretty well.  Sometimes my downfall is to know when to let go and not have complete control over the real estate process...

As I have learned to know you over these pages, I am sure you are doing a great job. It is so true to know when it is time to release control. I have the same challenge. Have a great day.

I think everyone has room for improvement and the day we stop saying we need improvement is the day we stop growing :)

Hi Cal - This is a great way to describe the qualities needed.  I like "P" words too, and I think they are especially powerful.  I once gave a group I was working with an assignment to come up with a bunch of "P" words that are needed for success.  I'll have to dig out that list and write a post - Thanks for inspiring it - and I'll give you credit!
