Six Keys to Effective Leadership with Adam Contos, Part 1

As the CEO of RE/MAX and as a thought leader, Adam Contos firmly believes that people’s mindsets determine their outcomes. If you are unhappy with a circumstance at hand, find constructive ways to shift your mindset and be a leader for yourself and others.

On this week’s episode of the Start With a Win podcast, Adam gets candid about three qualities associated with effective leadership. In part one of a two-part podcast, he dives into the importance of a healthy mindset and getting in check with your own emotions.

Adam dives into the meanings behind each of these three keys to effective leadership – and offers ways in which you can improve on them to better yourself and your business.

1. Mindset Matters

When you woke up this morning, what was your mindset? Were you dreading hearing that alarm go off – or were you embracing a brand-new day? Adam explains how mindset is a combination of your attitude and your values.

Many people get discouraged by slow progress or even failure. But according to Adam, failure is simply an opportunity to try something again.

2. Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is an essential component of effective leadership. It’s how you recognize your own emotions, understand others and use those two factors to make decisions. Adam shares his five-step process for getting in touch with your own emotions, starting with practicing self-awareness.

3. Emotional Maturity

Different from the previous point, emotional maturity boils down to choice management. How do you make choices as a leader? What constitutes a priority item when scheduling for your business and in your own life?
