Yahir Sarmiento is Cushman & Wakefield’s Senior Managing Director for Latin America.

When it comes to hiring, Yahir believes the best "fit" is someone who will work with the already existing team soul. A leader must consider the team's soul when making decisions. It's easy to make decisions when feeling strong emotions, but making decisions based on motivation and good intention is best for a team.

Doug and Yahir talk about time management for leaders—who often spend a majority of their time on shallow, immediate issues. In reality, leaders should devote 50% of their time to deep thinking about the future. But how? Making time for that isn't easy, but Yahir believes focusing on getting enough sleep can have a huge, positive impact on a leaders ability. Investing in sleep is like adding happiness to tomorrow.

Yahir speaks from the heart and dips into his life experiences and the wisdom of his mentors to pass on some excellent advice.
