The Servant-leader- A Message From Patty Plourde
July 8th, 2010 by exitrealtyimagine
Servant Leadership is a philosophy that our sales people value and utilize in their business practices. Every day we hear about people in influential positions forgetting the mission of an organization and giving way to greed and self-interest. The people who work at Exit Realty Imagine are leaders in the community. Here is how they lead:
TEN CHARACTERISTICS OF A
SERVANT-LEADER
Listening: The servant-leader seeks to identify the will of a group and helps to clarify that will by listening receptively to what is being said and unsaid.
Empathy: The servant-leader strives to understand and empathize with others so that people can be accepted and recognized for their special and unique spirits.
Healing: Servant-leaders recognize that they have an opportunity to help make whole those with whom they come in contact.
Awareness: Awareness helps one in understanding issues involving ethics, power and values.
Persuasion: Using persuasion rather than one’s positional authority, the servant-leader seeks to convince others, rather than coerce compliance.
Conceptualization: The leader who wishes to also be a servant-leader must stretch his or her thinking to encompass broader-based conceptual thinking, to dream great dreams.
Foresight: Foresight is a characteristic that enables the servant-leader to understand the lessons from the past, the realities of the present, and the likely consequence of a decision for the future.
Stewardship: Servant-leadership, like stewardship, assumes first and foremost a commitment to serving the needs of others first in our work roles.
Commitment to the growth of people: The servant-leader recognizes the tremendous responsibility to do everything in his or her power to nurture the personal and professional growth of the people they work with.
Building community: Servant-leadership suggests that true community can be created collectively, and that we all have a primary responsibility to shape our surroundings.
Real Estate is my passion. I adore everything about the business, even when times are tough. The last downturn has driven home a very important lesson. The people you work with, serve and spend time with, can make or break your serenity and your success. Today, I work with only the best. I believe my agents are on the same path. Life is short, increase the QUALITY of the experience!
