“VALUES are<br />

like fingerprints.<br />

Nobody’s are the<br />

same, but you leave<br />

them over everything<br />

you do”<br />

ELVIS PRESLEY<br />

Being part of a large multi-national company is a huge responsibility at times.<br />

If you feel detached, you can easily get lost due to the sheer size of a big business.<br />

If the parent company provides a sense of vision and a set of values, however, the<br />

connection becomes both easier and more authentic.<br />

We find ourselves in this space as a local business.<br />

We’ve distilled our parent company’s beliefs to include our own<br />

vision and set of guiding values, and although they mirror those<br />

of a large brand, we’ve adjusted them so they reflect our own<br />

unique nuances. I know, in fact I can almost hear the yawns now.<br />

It’s so easy to be cynical about a vision or a company mission<br />

statement or any of the many seemingly ‘new age’ taglines that<br />

sit around business, but when it’s real, it feels right.<br />

And, so it is with us. It’s taken a really long time to consolidate a<br />

vision that incorporates our desire to be<br />

the best realtors in New Zealand; adding value (tangible and<br />

intangible) to our clients and to the lives of the<br />

people who make up our team. (Thank you so much, Gilbert<br />

Enoka.)<br />

Not just their working lives, but the lives they envisaged<br />

achieving when they joined us, with all those associated dreams<br />

and hopes.<br />

Business is not easy and it doesn’t get easier with the years, but<br />

every day I get up on a mission to do my best. I’d rather<br />

race to any given finish line than crawl to the start, and<br />

knowing we’ve got a reason and a vision as a company<br />

to propel us forward makes it all the<br />

more special.<br />

What’s your vision?<br />

What do you stand for?<br />

I know the answers to these questions and, to anyone in<br />

business, so should you.<br />
