For leaders, however, your focus around this time of the year is understandably around the direction you want to take your business in – revenue targets, market share and rent roll volumes. However, I’d like to challenge something around this. I know that goals are important, but they are hovering somewhere indistinctly in the future.

Lots of people have talked about the coined label ‘order takers’ when it comes to this perception, and then hitched that to a statement like ‘we’ve forgotten how to be human’ or words to that effect (I’ve possibly even typed something like that myself!).

Yet you don’t pick up the phone, those letter box drops are still sitting on your table, it has been days since your last post on social media, and you decided to go out for dinner last night instead of getting that study done for your licence.
Why is that? Are your goals not strong enough to pull you through? Do you like the idea of the dream life but can’t face the work involved?

I recently wrote an article on the inherent challenges around keeping talent in our organisations and/or the industry and challenged the way in which we’re broadcasting knowledge so that new people coming in can feel less dictated to and more collaborated with.
It’s not like the original concepts are incorrect.

What’s one of the most critical issues in the industry, if not the biggest? Finding, building and retaining talent.
Being in a human-focused industry, I think that it’s a safe statement to make by suggesting that talent comes in all shapes and sizes. As much as there are a few core personality traits that would stereotypically be useful for each role within the industry, the beautiful part about this game is that almost anyone can do well with the right level of application.

I went into a shop called Humble Crumble the other day, in which they served three different types of crumble pudding with three different toppings, which was a wonderfully simple menu to choose from.
I stood at the counter waiting to order, smiled at one attendant, asked a question of another one, and when I finally started to order, one of them panicked and pointed at the tablet that stood within the three feet between us.

With consumer confidence dropping a touch at the end of 2023, Q1 of 2024 gave us a much better idea as to whether these mortgage interest rates will change at all this year. With the US pushing back their plans to drop interest rates, it’s looking increasingly likely that any hopes for it to happen in our green and gold land are all but over, with a few parties even suggesting more rate rises should inflation continue on the path it’s on.

Days before the Super Bowl, Kansas City Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi attended the BYU senior bowl, where he found out about Kingsley Suamataia. Borgonzi was intrigued by the massive 6-foot-5 offensive tackle, which he then shared with GM Brett Veach, OL coach Steve Spagnuolo, and head coach Andy Reid. During the NFL combine, the Chiefs set up a formal meeting with Suamataia. Eyewitnesses claimed that coach Reid was brimming with excitement.

As if Brett Veach needs any more browny points. The Kansas City Chiefs general manager went all out in the second round and drafted former five-star offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia as the 31st pick (63rd overall). The Chiefs required quality depth in their offensive line, but they did not have a high draft pick to select the likes of Joe Alt or Olu Fashanu. Instead, Veach went for the next best player up for grabs, BYU’s Suamataia.

Doesn’t sound right, does it?! The most rambunctious, gregarious element of the game, where fire and brimstone rain down on the market with a cacophony of high-powered warbling … and yet, it can be in the silence that our greatest power can lie!
And yet auctioneers can have this fear of it, instead preferring to ramble gibberish repetitively in the hope that it masks a lack of action.
Why is that? Why does silence twist the knife of anxiety into our midriffs?
