Episode 060 - Culture and Leadership in the Real Estate Industry

It’s the culture club episode! Today we’re talking about culture and leadership in your organization and what works and what absolutely doesn’t. A huge blind spot that was exposed by the pandemic and the great resignation is that for many people in many professions, corporate and work culture had become a source for burnout for workers because there has been such a disconnect between the average worker and the people who they work for. When it comes to building a team that sticks around and works to the best of their abilities, it goes beyond a few perks and grinding day in and day out. It’s about collaboration and giving the people on your team the knowledge that they matter, and their ideas are going to be heard, as well as knowing the people they work for have their best interests in mind.   When you’re looking for a team to be a part of, how that team conducts business and balances work and life is just as important as how much success they have. We’re entering a whole new world where team members are looking for more than just a paycheck, they’re looking for a workplace where they feel they matter. If you’re a leader of a team, or a manager in a bigger organization, knowing what your workers are looking for in engagement and what they might need professionally is key to existing in this evolving market.   “We’ve had the Great Resignation, and now it's time for the Great Reimagination.” – Bernie   “I think people will ultimately give up certain things for quality of life and a great place to work that's flexible.” – Steve   “A healthy culture will reverse engineer into productivity. If you have a workplace that people don't want to show up to, you're not going to have production.” – Bernie   “Bonuses and raises are great and necessary, but there's things in between that you can do to show your appreciation so that those people feel that connectedness they want.” – Steve   Hey you!
