Imran Poladi
Leadership – Using Psychology to Boost Production, Create a Winning Culture and Retain your Best Performers
Imran runs his business on the psychology of what an agent would find best for their business instead of what’s best for the business owner. With retention rates at 97% per year, he has also managed to push the production of his agents by 75% in a declining market and he will share how he has done this.
He will also share his view of the real estate vision of the future and reveal some of the innovations that he has made in his office that have had a huge impact on culture and productivity.
Larry Winget
The 8 ‘Ates’ of Leadership
In this session, Larry discusses the eight principles for being an effective leader. This is hard-core leadership training that can change your results in every way.
The principles Larry will discuss are: CreATE, CommunicATE, EducATE, DelegATE, ParticipATE, HibernATE, EvaluATE and AmputATE. And notice that motivATE is absent!! You will learn how to hire, how to fire and how to manage. He will talk about how to train, develop and work with idiots, cry-babies, whiners and superstars. He will dispel the value of teamwork and give you his trademarked 20-60-20 rule for dealing with people. This material is near and dear to Larry, and it is why he has been hired by over 400 of the Fortune 500 companies.
