Going all in on systems over saviors 🤝
When exiting his agency, @aboutbuck realized no one leader makes or breaks a thriving brand.
As he shares on @theidealhour, creating collective momentum matters most - not tying worth to any solo genius. 💡

Structures that withstand inevitable turnover
Removing reliance on rainmaker 'heroes'

Great leaders take OWNERSHIP when their team falls short. 🗡️
As @iamanoack explained on The Ideal Hour podcast, failures should reflect on the boss first!
If an employee misses the mark, were expectations clearly set? Did they have proper tools, training and follow-up to excel? If not, that's on leadership.👆
By leaping on the sword as the head of an organization, you model accountability. The blame game ends, leaving space for the team to REGROUP without shame. 🛡️ You lift them up to try again.
Share 👇 how the BEST leaders you've worked with transparently take faults on themselves to empower the group!

Sneaky remodels backfire 🛠️😤
Our podcast guest @tracyamclaughlin says DON'T! Your home sins will backfire, big time.
Cutting corners might seem faster, but illegal work tanks resale value when exposed. And you can't hide flaws from an eagle-eyed inspector! It's like a bad hangover that never ends. 🤢
Tracy's rule? If you aren't pulling permits upfront, WALK AWAY. It saves a ton of headaches (and enemies!) later when things go south. 🚩 What's your craziest reno war story? Share 'em below!

Motivating your squad 👊🏼💪🏼
Getting the most from people requires truly knowing them says @ceogrovescapital.
While some need public praise as fuel, others distrust the spotlight and just want candid feedback privately.
Adjust your approach individually. Positivity can pull greatness from some personalities. For others, constructive criticism.

Will the hot housing market crash anytime soon? 🏠😰
Not likely, says real estate expert @milanarealestate Supply is WAY too low.
As Milana Ostroy explained on The Ideal Hour podcast, with inventory half of normal levels and 40% of homeowners mortgage-free, there's little being listed and sold lately. Prices stay propped up when supply lags like this.
Combine that with high construction costs deterring new builds, and cheap money keeping buyers hungry...this market has room to run despite 11% value gains last year! 📈
