Good morning, Grant Schneider leaders who are not authentic will be exposed quickly....it's easily recognizable.... everyone is watching ....and it's most important to separate business from personal.... I never socialized with individual agents in the office....only as a group..... I only socialized with individual agents outside of my office....

Good morning Grant. Leadership comes in different ways, but without respect, no trust can be established. Enjoy your day!

I think Accountability is a big one Grant, and certianly a Clear Vision to be able explain to others is another top Leadership quality!

Thanks for sharing Grant!

The concept of servant leadership is one in which a leader who encourages, supports and enables others. According to Blanchard, a servant leader has humility.

Sounds like you enjoyed listening to Ken Blanchard, have always enjoyed his books,musthave been interesting to actually hear him and be ableto ask questions too. Great post and good discussion about leadership.

Thank you very much, Grant, for sharing your experience and your advice.

Being authentic is very important, especially when it comes to being in a leadership role.  So many people these days will tell you what you want to hear and I don't like that.

Hi Grant... these leadership traits are also excellent to put into play when working with clients.

Hello Grant - it's been some time since I have heard the name Ken Blanchard.  Some things never go out of style.  

Grant,

Ken Blanchard has been an inspiration for both of us.  I especially liked your last paragraph, and this sentence, "The leader stays with them not to manage but to coach them to reach their full potential. Performance discussions are necessary but not so that you can have a bell-shaped curve.'

Hi Grant Schneider,

How very exciting to have the opportunity to hear Ken Blanchard in person. I have read two of his many books.  The One Minute Manager and The One Minute Manager Meets The Monkey.  I enjoy his style of writing.

I have always been a big fan of promoting leaders from within. People are identified and coached and trained in the necessary skills to move to the next level. A mentor should be identified to help continue to coach to help the manager avoid the "Peter Principle".  

Grand you provide four good examples.  The fist and last are the ones that stand out most for me.

Morning Grant.

You need to learn how to lead yourself before you can lead others.  So true

Wonderfully done Grant!!!   Not everyone is a leader/manager. They may know their industry better than anyone else but that's not all that's needed. I learned a lot from watching Larry and how he managed and lead those around him. (don't tell him I said that).

Grant, have never officially had a "leadership" role, as I am the Broker with no agents, but have led round-table events at the Board on different topics.
