In episode 160 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, let's explore 'Find, Mind, and Grind'—a game-changing concept for team dynamics in commercial real estate businesses. 'Finders' are the rainmakers, bringing in new clients and sealing deals; 'Minders' nurture client relationships and ensure satisfaction; and, 'Grinders' handle the technical work, from paperwork to managing third-parties and databases. But here's the twist: 'grinders' can supercharge 'finders,' saving time and money. To build a balanced, growing and profitable business, leaders need to ensure that 'finders' don't do it all - because everyone's role is vital.
