CHAIRMAN ’ S ELITE BUSINESS OWNERS FORUM
17-18 MAY 2022
When our top business owners gathered in Sydney recently for a very special two day conference , special things happened . The sharing and exchanging of ideas was perfect .
The purpose of the conference was to bring together our top business leaders for collaboration , sharing and networking .
Ray White Group chairman Brian White spoke about the difference between ‘ leadership and management ’. He recalled how his father Alan said “ be a good leader ” when he took over . “ I quickly realised that I needed to be overt and communicate on this idea of leadership , as it was something I struggled with initially ,” Mr White said .
He reminded the top business owners to always express what ‘ s important to their teams . “ I don ’ t know anyone who is a natural born leader but you can become a good leader .
Support each other and always make sure your teams are proud of every single transaction .”
Keynote speaker Gus Balbontin engaged Ray White ’ s top business owners from across Australia and New Zealand in a robust and productive workshop type session .
Mr Balbontin is well known for his days at Lonely Planet but he knows how to help entrepreneurs lift and share learnings .
“ Tension gives birth to innovation . Firstly everyone needs to work out if you like order , or disorder , which is important to work out the harmony of the team ,” Mr Balbontin said .
Ray White Head of Strategy Mark McLeod said change only comes from better discussions .
“ We know we have four times better chances to sell the house by getting into the kitchen table but many members are wasting their leads . The answer is NurtureCloud .”
