I was invited to speak at the Realtor Land Institute Southeastern Conference recently and had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with some amazing business owners. Our topic for the morning was leadership so I wanted to share a few things that great leaders do as we move into a new year filled with new opportunities.
Leadership: is a set of behaviors used to help people, align their collective direction, to execute, strategic plans, and to continually renew an organization.
Leadership: The work of creating and maintaining an environment in which people accomplish goals efficiently and effectively.
As you can see in our two definitions, a lot of our results in our lives and in our organizations are a direct result of leadership. I often see a frustrated business owner who can’t understand why we are not getting better results. When you look at the environment, you realize we have not set up our teams for success. We reap what we sow and if our systems, processes and environments don’t allow our team to accomplish their goals, our results always suffer.
The other issue I see a lot is confusion and lack of clarity. Leadership is to help people align their collective direction to execute. When we are unsure, when things are not clear, our people are not aligned and execution always suffers.
As we move into 2025 I would challenge you to make some changes. The number one tasks on the top of your ToDo list every morning should be: creating and maintaining an environment in which people accomplish goals efficiently and effectively. The second task on your daily ToDo list should be: to help people, align their collective direction, to execute, strategic plans, and to continually renew an organization.
If we improve our leadership we help align our people. If we improve our leadership we help our people accomplish their goals efficiently and effectively. If we are going to crush it in 2025 we need to start with ourselves and our leadership. If we are going to have our best year ever, it starts with us and our leadership.
You can do this!! Let’s go crush 2025!!!
