Summary

As a leader, how are you creating and cultivating trust with your organization and clients? In today’s episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I have the honor of talking with Adam Contos, CEO and Board Director of RE/MAX. As a leader who is responsible for providing strategic direction on all aspects of major RE/MAX corporate decisions, he shared with me vital advice on growing your organization and responsibility within your organization. Adam provided golden nuggets on leadership, the accountability leaders have to cultivate trust within their organization, and to not stop the hard work when rough times are approaching. He also covered the importance of seeing business as a marathon and not a sprint, a reminder we all need to listen to again and again! We also covered the leadership philosophy, measuring your impact, and why you need to push aside excuses when starting video. If you’ve been looking into acquiring a new organization, obtaining the CEO title or simply developing your leadership skills, this episode is for you! Listen and don’t forget to take notes because I know I surely did!
