2023 Ones to Watch Industry Leaders: John Horowitz, Marcus & Millichap
Senior Vice President / Division Manager
Marcus & Millichap
Number of years in CURRENT position: 12.5
3 skills that you use every day in your position: Leadership, problem-solving, financial management
Best book, podcast, or app for aspiring leaders: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
Best advice for new leaders in 10 words or less: Listen and think before you speak
What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? We have a strong mentorship culture at Marcus & Millichap, and I recognized that we were not providing sufficient training for our agents once they became mentors. I created, designed and introduced a mentorship training program for all aspiring mentors. The program is focused on developing the necessary skills to be a quality mentor without disrupting the agent’s existing business. The program is currently being expanded nationwide.
What was one of your biggest challenges as a leader and how did you overcome it? My biggest challenge right now is learning how to adapt my teaching style to the new agents that we hire. Over time, as generations change, the way in which people want to work, interact and learn has changed, and it is my job to change my methods to meet the agents where they are. I was resistant to this at first, but as I’ve adapted, I’ve found that the newest agents are learning and adapting quicker than ever.
