On this week's repost of Lex Talk Real Estate, leadership expert Jordyne Carmack joined me to break down what it actually takes to lead a team in 2026.

We often think leadership is about giving speeches or giving orders. Jordyne flipped the script: The #1 leadership skill is LISTENING.

She shared that effective leaders:1️⃣ Practice Active Listening: It’s not just hearing; it’s paraphrasing and validating.2️⃣ Prioritize Clarity: In a complex market (like Real Estate!), being understood is more important than sounding smart.3️⃣ Know Their Audience: Adapting your communication style to the person you are leading.

Whether you are leading a real estate transaction to close or leading a team of five, these skills are non-negotiable.
