IN JUST A FEW YEARS, HATCH REALTY HAS RISEN INTO THE TOP FIFTY REAL ESTATE TEAMS NATIONWIDE― ALL FROM FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA. How? Erik Hatch writes that real estate has nothing to do with brick and mortar and everything to do with the people who are going to live in that house. At Hatch Realty, relationships matter. Team members are welcomed and encouraged to be their full selves and, in turn, are able to serve clients to the highest level. While most businesses ask people to be their buttoned-up resumes, Hatch Realty embraces transparency and vulnerability. Trust forms quickly, and team members thrive. An inspiring storyteller, Hatch traces his sometimes rocky path to success with honesty, humor, and the spirit of a servant leader. Playing for the person next to us, he writes, creates a more successful business and more purposeful life.
The first few chapters are definitely good and meaningful reading. What makes a successful leader? A successful employee or team member, even? Hatch has a good story and writing technique with which to share it and teaches quite a bit about how to be a good leader. Will it mean success? How am I to know? But it will mean you're a good, or at least better, leader.
After the first thirty pages or so, though, the book repeats. Over and over.
