The Leadership Diaries: Ben Faulks on building team culture, recruiting top talent and scaling up


Listen Later

Can you imagine taking on a leadership role in a new real estate agency without having ever sold a house?

That’s exactly the challenge Ben Faulks faced when he co-founded Ray White Canberra in 2010.

Yet the entrepreneurial former banker has been quick to establish himself as one of the industry’s leaders and build a team of 120 across three offices.

In this Leadership Diaries episode of the Elevate podcast with Elite Agent Managing Director Samantha McLean, Ben discusses his leadership journey, how he develops a strong team culture and exactly how he recruits high-quality talent to grow his business.

Ben also gives his insight on the Canberra property market, how he founded the Canberra-based listing portal Zango and the most effective way to set financial goals for your business.

“Having been part of Ray White for a long period of time, it’s a bit cliche, but there’s an attitude of abundance. There’s enough out there for everyone, and we celebrate other agencies’ success within the network.” – Ben Faulks
