Ray White Leaders inspired by Harvard Business School

An opportunity to gain insight from one of the most renowned business schools in the world was offered to our business owners and leaders recently. Dan White lead the session with almost 40 Ray White and Loan Market Business Owners at The Vines Resort.

The focus of the day was to challenge the participants to think from an alternative perspective, as well as develop their leadership skills. The intensive retreat saw many members out of their comfort zone and engaged in debate with each other like never before.

“I felt really challenged, but also got helpful information to grow, change and improve.” Ray White Principal, Elsie Corby said. This sentiment was repeated by Ray White Carnarvon Principal, Ted Schultz, “The retreat was thought provoking. It made me think outside the square and I was challenged by the thought processes.”

The leadership retreat was centred around two case studies, where participants were required to read, digest and then to consider the merits of different leadership decisions. This formed the basis of energetic debate in the assigned focus groups. After everyone had an opportunity to debate their views on the cases, the real life outcome was shared to reflect upon.

Of the attendees surveyed, 100 percent said they would attend the session again. Even more remarkable, 100 percent also said they would recommend the session to a colleague. Steven McMullen, a Loan Market Franchisee strongly recommended the retreat, “If you plan on growing your business, plan on attending one of these workshops.”

“Having attended the Leadership Development session in Sydney with Ken MacLennan (Loan Market State Director) earlier this year, we knew we had to find a way to share it with our WA business owners and leaders ” Mark Whiteman, Ray White WA CEO explained. “Dan and Mark Mcleod were fantastic and based on the extremely positive feedback we have received, its fair to say that our networks found it just as valuable and thought provoking as we did.”

The retreat was provided as part of a suite of training and development opportunities that are held for our property managers, salespeople and business owners throughout the year. We are always looking for new and exciting sessions to hold for our network, so if you have any suggestions or feedback we would love to hear from you.
