In our narrative today, (part two of my series about my good friend and mentor, Bill Lee), I wanted to highlight his 8 Traits of Success. A special shoutout to Jeff Hubberman, an incredible Principal in our City of Industry office who helped me clarify and produce this narrative. I was able to pin Jeff down for a Ten on One podcast a couple of years ago which you can watch here.
Our team tries to use these 8 traits to identify, hire, and then develop exceptional team members. Here’s how we incorporate all 8 traits into our daily operations:
1. Identify and Develop Talent: We seek out great team members and uncover their unique abilities using their Kolbe A Index scores. Learn more about Kolbe here.
2. Team Pride: We take pride in our team and enforce non-negotiables to ensure everyone contributes effectively.
3. Preparation: We are always ready to impress potential clients with materials that showcase our expertise and professionalism, even before securing the job.
4. Persistence: We never give up, regardless of market conditions. We adapt to meet current market needs, expanding our expertise beyond just office brokerage.
5. Encourage Autonomy: We trust our team members to manage their work styles, allowing flexibility such as occasional remote work and personalized schedules.
6. Embrace Failure: We believe in failing forward by learning from our mistakes. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
7. Emergent Effects: We leverage our team’s diverse skills and perspectives to create innovative solutions.
8. Customized Chemistry: We ensure that our team dynamics are tailored to foster collaboration and success.
