You have been networking, engaging with new people and now have relationships as a result. As a leader, how do you actually influence the people in your sphere and make a memorable impact on them?
On this week’s follow-up episode of Start With a Win, RE/MAX Holdings CEO Adam Contos covers the art of influencing people – a pillar of relationship-building.
Accompanied by Producer Mark, Adam spends time unpacking his guiding principles on the topic. The overarching theme among them is genuine kindness.
“The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it,” Adam explains.
He suggests respecting others for their differing opinions and creating a space in which fostering others’ viewpoints is non-controversial. He also believes that being able to admit when you’re wrong with honesty and empathy is the key to being a humble leader.
The simplest tip Adam shares with listeners is to always approach a conversation in a friendly manner. As noted in part 1 of this Start With a Win series, a smile is an effective way to show that you are trustworthy – plus, it’s free! Always heading into a conversation with a positive disposition, he says, sets the tone for genuine conversation and friendship.
Tune in to this week’s podcast episode to learn more of Adam’s principles for successfully influencing others and making a positive impact on those around you.
