A friend-agent asked me to help secure a listing, little did I know that this would be the beginning of a problem. While I was away on vacation, two agents who cared about me called to warn me about a coup. It turns out that some agents believed I was showing favoritism to my friend. 👥

Upon returning to the office, I discovered that not many agents had gone to the coup meeting. I met with the two agents who organized it & had to let them go on the spot. The next day, I called an emergency meeting & told everyone that if they felt I was showing favoritism to anyone, I would leave. To my surprise, everyone supported me, and it was my first test as a leader. 👨‍💼

As a leader, I learned that I need to be open to feedback & take action to address any issues. So let this be a lesson to all aspiring leaders out there 👉 be true to yourself & your values, ✅ face challenges with courage, transparency, 🌱 and a willingness to learn & grow. Never compromise your integrity or the trust of your team.
