Getting to Know RE/MAX CEO, Adam Contos

In this episode of Start With A Win, Producer Mark becomes the host and interviews RE/MAX’s leader, Adam Contos. In all areas of his life, Adam has a keen interest in understanding people, frequently asking himself, “How is this person or group of people?” and “How can I help them?” Adam has found that using emotional intelligence (understanding the feelings of others) and emotional maturity (an ability to make the most emotionally intelligent decisions) is the key to authentic leadership. Another way to describe his outlook on being a leader is that he attracts, diagnoses, and prescribes the fixes for the problems of others.In his mid-40’s, Adam was encouraged to get his MBA to progress his career at RE/MAX, which he did through the University of Denver’s Executive MBA program. As a lifelong learner who didn’t always enjoy formal education, Adam was surprised to find how much he learned through the program. He found that the curriculum emphasized how you learn more than what you learn, so by adjusting his choice management and creating some beneficial structures in his life, he was able to manage his career, family, education, and grow in the process. To his 18-year-old self, Adam would emphasize the importance of keeping better track of relationships and being more intentional about understanding the people around him throughout life. If Adam were able to have dinner with any three people, his list would be Steve Jobs, Aristotle, and the Pope. The episode ends with a lightning round of questions that you don’t want to miss!Connect with Adam:https://www.startwithawin.com/ https://www.facebook.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://twitter.com/REMAXAdamContos https://www.instagram.com/REMAXadamcontos/ Leave us a voicemail:888-581-4430
