Making others look good
The Basketball playoffs are going on and I am always struck
by how the praises are given to the stars, but the guys who really make things
happen are the ones who make the stars look good. In a team sport, there are
always the players who stick out, but those players could not be great without
the player who does the little things that allow the great player to do what
they do best.
We as viewers always like to see the great dunk, or the three
point play, but what about the player who made the pass or set the screen for the
star.
I grew up Watching Magic Johnson with the Lakers and while
Magic was the star, he made others great buy his assists. Magic could have
score just about any time he wanted, but his goal was to allow others to score
and he would take the pleasure in leading his team to victory. The other Great
thing about Magic as a player is he always gave credit to the other guys. Now
Magic won 5 championships in an era where he was battling great teams like the
Celtics and players like Larry Bird. It was a very competitive time in
Basketball and the greatest of them all was a guy who spread around the credit.
Today it is all about getting the credit and in my business
of Property Management in Orange County California, Making people look good is
a very big part of my business. I want my Tenants to look good to the owner of
the property and the way I do that is to keep the Tenant in line and making
sure their rent is paid on time. There is nothing that makes a Landlord happier
then to get their rent consistently on time. It makes me laugh when a Landlord
gets used to getting their rent on a certain day and if it may be a day or two
later, they get upset. Many Landlords need the rent to pay the mortgage and if
a Tenant pays on time the Landlord is much more likely to want to keep that
Tenant happy. If a Tenant is a late payer, then it is much easier for a
Landlord to raise the rent.
Making the Tenant look good to the Landlord and the Landlord
look good to the Tenant is good for my business and not worrying about being
the hero to either party is also part of my business. Too many Realtors try to
be the hero to their clients and end up doing harm to them. As a Real Estate
Broker, I know my job is not to be a hero, but to be the guy that makes sure
things get done, and not getting the credit is also a big part of my job. After
I am the Property Manager for a period of time, I want my clients to expect me
to get things done and not think of me doing my job as a great thing.
Giving credit to others is very important to all of us to
do. Too much time is spent by people trying to get the credit for everything
and most of the time no one cares.
