The Transition from Agent to Executive

Transitioning from an agent to the CEO of a large real estate company presents unique challenges, particularly in navigating the dynamics within a founder-operated organization. Chris Heller shares his experience, highlighting the importance of effective delegation and collaboration with different departments to achieve common goals. This access to other perspectives requires patience and a willingness to adapt, particularly as the pace of decision-making is often slower than when operating as an independent agent. Developing strong leadership skills is essential, as a CEO must balance swift decision-making with the need to ensure that team members are empowered to act.
