Recommended book for realtors: Good to Great by Jim Colllins

Good to Great debunks the theory that these CEOs that run great, huge companies are these superhuman people, just good managers. And this book shows you the framework for how to set small things in place to lead to larger things. It talks about not only what it takes from an individual standpoint but from a team standpoint and from a company culture standpoint. It also speaks on how it’s important to have the right people at the same table as far as your core values and mission statement go.

Jim Collins believes strongly in his ‘Hedgehog Concept’—a concept where he believes that you should focus on doing one thing really well instead of trying everything and spreading yourself too thin. He also talks about how important it is when looking at different opportunities or challenges within your business, that you look at them through the lens of your core values and mission statement which will help guide you with decision making.
