Bill Redfern, CEO of A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections and iCare – Intelligent Home Care Solutions, was recently featured in Inc. Magazine, a premier publication for entrepreneurs and business owners.
Here, Bill offers some sage advice about the value of preparation and the power of being present in your day-to-day work.
“Scrambling to deal with unplanned eventualities doesn’t just sap your sense of control, it also divides your attention (and, if it’s really out of hand, can even bring on panic). Having everything you need within reach helps keep you calm and focused, according to Bill Redfern, CEO and founder of A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections.
“I’m much more present with my team. If you look at your day as one big project, it canget overwhelming. But once you break up each component into smaller items, it’s easier to prioritize,” he explained to Inc.com. That clear-headedness is good for Redfern and his work, but he insists it also helps him be a better leader and bring out the best in his people. “The role of the CEO is to utilize the talent around you — that’s a critical part of mise en place,” he says.”
