Good Morning Team!

I had the opportunity at the beginning?of the month to speak with Codie Sanchez. She is honestly a force to be reckoned?with in the business influence?industry. Codie really knows her stuff. She is smart and extremely?sharp.

Our Director Of Ops Andrea Lombardo, who has been killing it lately, is really starting to come into her role as a leader within our organization. Anderea is starting to notice things before me, finding similarities?in the content she is consuming and really getting good at identifying issues and finding solutions. The foundational issues are virtually?the same in every business, the difference is simply the way in which something gets done. But the foundation systems or principles?are the same.?

On our Leadership Level we discuss the concept and book 13 Fatal Errors That Managers Make and How To Avoid Them by W. Steven Brown. Once our leadership team fully understands the concepts and principles?in this book it will be a core training method for our realtors. Totals video is a great representation of Fatal Error #4.

At my past company we wrote out all the Fatal Errors and I've shared them with you below. No matter what the business these principles are always interchangeable.?

Fatal Error #4 Join The Wrong Crowd

Killer solution #5 surround yourself by High Achievers

• Fatal Pronoun Disease: Use words like “I” or “Me” instead of “we”
• Misalignment of Values: Managers may be tempted to align themselves with individuals who don't share the same values or ethical standards. This could lead to compromising situations where decisions are made that conflict with the team's principles.
• Influence of Negative Individuals: Associating with negative or toxic individuals can breed a culture of distrust and demotivation within the team. These individuals may spread negativity, undermine leadership, and hinder progress.
• Lack of Diverse Perspectives: Managers who only surround themselves with no diverse minds risk missing out on perspectives and innovative ideas. This can lead to stagnation and poor decision-making, as alternative viewpoints are not considered.
• Loss of Credibility: Aligning with the wrong crowd can damage a manager's credibility and reputation. If the individuals they associate with are known for unethical behavior or incompetence, it reflects poorly on the manager's judgment and leadership abilities.
• Impact on Team Dynamics: The wrong crowd can disrupt team dynamics, creating conflicts and divisions among team members. This can hinder collaboration, communication, and overall performance.
• Failure to Uphold Standards: Managers who associate with individuals who do not uphold organizational standards may inadvertently condone or overlook unethical behavior. This sets a dangerous precedent and erodes trust within the team.

To avoid this fatal error, managers should:

• Choose Influences Wisely: Surround themselves with individuals who demonstrate integrity, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence.
• Seek Diversity: Encourage diversity of thought and perspectives within their network, fostering an environment where different viewpoints are valued and respected.
• Lead by Example: Demonstrate strong ethical leadership and uphold organizational values in all interactions.
• Stay True To Principles: Refuse to compromise on values or ethical standards, even if it means distancing oneself from influential individuals who do not align with them.
• Address Toxicity: Take proactive steps to address negative influences and toxic behavior within the team, promoting a culture of positivity and collaboration.

BE GREAT
