Workshop Topics
Our workshop topics are based on the different pillars of EDI’s 7 Building Blocks™ – all crucial for a strong strategic, operating, and financial outcome for broker owners and brokerage managers.
Commanding Leadership and Setting Culture
- Generate more profit by fixing and realigning your organization.
- Are you frustrated with staff showing up at 9:05am, taking long lunches, talking on the phone repeatedly with friends and family, chatting with their fellow workers, and then packing up 15 minutes prior to 5pm – and not completing their work for the day?
- Are you equally frustrated with staff not returning emails, treating agents and clients poorly, and not meeting deadlines or goals? The solution starts with this session.
- Leadership begins with creating your vision, setting your mission, and establishing what will be your organizational values. You can’t lead a group of people if they are not inspired by the destination and you cannot work together as a team if your values are not aligned. We will provide you with structure and process to establish the vision of the organization.
