Employee ownership is in our DNA here at Higginbotham. But ownership is more than a benefit—it’s a mindset. And as leaders, we have a responsibility to continually sharpen that mindset in ourselves and the employee-shareholders we serve. This week, leaders from across our Mid-South Region gathered at the beautiful Pursell Farms to invest in becoming better leaders together. We shared what is working, and more importantly, what isn't; lessons learned; and strategies for leading from the front, strengthening our equity culture, and proactively developing the next generation of leaders. We heard from: • Carter English sharing his Higginbotham leadership journey • Operations leaders Jan Giangrosso / Sandy Winborne / Laura Forey discussing how to build a scalable service model and efficient office infrastructure • Regional Sales Directors Renee Wenzler / Lawson Schaffer / Jake Burdeshaw sharing the "why" behind mentorship and developing top producer talent • Office Leaders Charlie Bailey IV, CIC / Evan Chambers / David J. Dennis, CPIA discussing how they communicate vision and purpose to align their teams and drive exceptional results • LaceyRae Visintainer & Ashley Dillon on all things office engagement, hiring / employee onboarding, and office communication All leaders rowing the boat in one direction — the Higginbotham way!
