Team Work : What Does it Really Mean?
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011As many of you know we run a Team Brokerage Model. I get asked often what that means. For me, it begins outside of the Boardroom and onto the Courts …where it all begins.
I did up this video as a keep sake for the Senior High VBall Team (& 2 of my boys #3,#5 yeah!!) for their year end party. The core of the Team had played together since the awkward junior highs years through to senior high. They saw each other through thick and thin, blemishes, girlfriends, exams… They built up a friendship and trust that was impenetrable both on and off the court. They achieved this by being part of the “Team”. Experiencing wins , losses, victories and disappointments – they saw it through together. And when they stepped out onto the court – their ability to have each others back – count on one another to see it through – played out in their final season: 15 wins in a row – and a win from behind down 18-24 – and came back to win 26-24 (and in vball circles – this is a big thing!). You see good TEAM work produces victories both on and off the court.
Another fine example comes to mind: The Boys on the Bus…remember? The Oilers of the Eighties – they too were a force to be reckoned with…and when they stepped onto the ice – the opponent felt it too. Everyone of those players understood what it meant to be part of a Team. When they stepped out on the ice – they had each others back – they went out into ‘battle’ together. Together you are stronger – when you go out as a force that supports ones another – and people you encounter will sense that too.
That is the atmosphere we are cultivating at KENNEDY Real Estate – our TEAM Brokerage Model – we have each others back. We support one another as we go out into ‘battle’, through the sharing of technology, experience, leads, training and mentoring and referrals.
The Real Estate industry is OUR ‘court’ and we intend to play the game as a Team – through thick and thin – good markets , slow markets…together we will see it through. We will play by example and lead our Team to many a victory!!
Wishing YOU all great Teamwork!!
