June 09 2014
This post comes to us from the Market Leader blog:
Last month, I traveled to Dallas to join over 370 leaders of the real estate industry at the annual Gathering of Eagles conference.
Sponsored by REAL Trends, the event is something I look forward to with great anticipation, but this year it was more amazing than I envisioned.
While REAL Trends sponsored the keynote speaker, former President George W. Bush, Trulia and Market Leader hosted a special, private session with him.
Whether the attendees agreed with President Bush's politics or not, I think Steve Murray, president of REAL Trends and the moderator of the question-and-answer session, sums up on his blog how many of us felt after the session: "The President shared some deeply personal thoughts and convictions of what great leaders do when confronted with unexpected challenges."
In a nutshell, the former president identified three things that effective leaders do:
- Surround themselves with the right advisors.
- Benchmark all decisions around the mission or core values of the organization.
- Be prepared to make the right decisions, even if they might not be popular.
The key takeaway for me and several other attendees was how we can apply the former president's leadership style to our individual circumstances.
