When building a successful team, certain qualities are essential. Dedication, reliability, engaged,honesty, positive attitude,and critical thinking are just a few that come to mind. ‼️But when it comes to hiring an employee, which traits do you consider to be an absolute must-have❓ Share your thoughts in the comments below!👇 #hiring #recruiting #commercialrealestate

Imagine this.. Your team makes a big mistake. The client is new and important so the tensions are even higher. You are scared that you might lose them. But your team steps up. And delivers work that leaves the client truly impressed. And you respond with: "Thankfully, everything's resolved." Now imagine if you responded with: "Great work team! Keep crushing 💪" See the difference? Of course, you do. Here's the thing.. If you want a team of high-performers, treat them as high-performers. Catch them doing great things and acknowledge their actions. Why? Because what gets recognized, gets repeated. PS. If you want to work for PAS, look for our next hiring post.

In our investor deck we said we would hire our first full time team member in April. We didn't. We thought about it a lot. We are aware of how important building a quality team is to achieve proper growth which is probably the main reason we decided not to hire. How can we help someone to fulfil their potential in a role when we are still learning about it ourselves? We are fortunate to have found ourselves with an awesome team, just none of them are directly employed by us. They are experts in their areas and we really trust them. Sidney Hiscox and I are now in a strange spot where we spend some hours of the day on the big picture strategy of Fera , the creative direction, operational planning etc and then probably as many or more hours answering customer service emails, chasing up fulfilment issues, creating barcodes for incoming products etc. Both of these are super important and you can't have one without the other. And in fact, being an expert in those seemingly 'smaller' operational tasks is really important, we are still working on it. That first hire is coming but only when we are as confident as we can be of their role and what it entails and most importantly our ability to equip them with the info/knowledge required to smash it.

Feeling overwhelmed as a leader? Wearing too many hats and doing tasks you’d rather avoid? It’s time to get help! I hired a full-time VA from the Philippines for just $1200/month, and it’s been a game-changer. Meet Joane—she’s phenomenal, reads and writes better than many, and works on US central time. Having her 40 hours a week feels like I’ve cloned myself. Now, I get to go back to building a team, with Monday morning calls, systems, and processes in place. If you want to learn more about hiring a VA, comment "VA" down below.

As a leader, there are two types of positive feedback from my team that warm my heart. One is, "I wanna be like you when I grow up" (oh, sweet Gen Z, you're so kind), and the other is, "I've never worked in a team like this before" from our new hires (last quarter we successfully onboarded four people). Our team thrives in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, where there's no internal competition but a collective drive towards a common goal. We have a deep connection and respect for each other's efforts. I truly believe that a positive team atmosphere significantly boosts productivity and job satisfaction. Happy people work better. As a team lead, I've learned a lot about maintaining this team vibe. Here are some basic principles I follow: - Love your people - Trust them - Listen to them - Support and protect them - Help them grow That's my recipe for a succeeding team. Do you have similar experiences or different thoughts? P.S. We're hiring!

Hiring the right people is not just about filling positions; it's about building a team that will drive your organization's success
