How to empower your team by building a winning culture

There’s more to being a great boss than just being bossy.

If you ask Ewan Morton the best leaders are those that put the best interests of others first.

In this episode of Elevate, the Morton Real Estate joint Managing Director shares how he survived a nightmare first five years in the industry, why earning a salary of $40,000 was a big win and how picking the brains of others helped him succeed.

Ewan deep dives into what he believes makes a good leader, how leaders can empower their teams to bigger and better things and why it’s necessary to check your ego at the door.

He also examines the many impacts of COVID-19, including how it has lead to big changes in the processes they use when leasing commercial properties.
