A short YouTube monologue (Real Estate Team OS) where the speaker describes that moving from realtor to team leader was the biggest jump in their career. They stress retaining an agent’s perspective while expanding into leadership, and list necessary traits—empathy, problem solving, high availability—while noting the role is not for everyone and applauding those who undertake it.
Going from realtor to team leader was probably the biggest jump in my career. You almost have to retain where you were as an agent, but at the same time go a step further and take it into how do you change it for them? Understanding is a big part of it, being empathetic is a big part of it, problem solving is a big part of it. But also knowing it's not for everyone. If you don't want to be in front of your computer all day, if you do not want to be fielding phone calls till 10 o' clock at night, if you don't want to be helping someone write a contract at 2 o' clock in the morning, it might not be for you, but for us, that's what our team leaders are there. When we say our team leaders are there for you 24 7, we genuinely mean it. So going that from agent to team lead is a big step. Probably the biggest step I had to take. It's a difficult one. It's not for everyone, but I applaud anyone who's taken that step.
