Growing Greatness; passing it on: A new way to think about hiring

Tuesday, September 29, 2026
One Big Idea Stage

In this session, Charles McDade challenges the traditional approach to recruiting and reframes hiring as a responsibility to develop people, not just deploying them. Drawing on his experience with educating the next generation of agents, Charles breaks down how building a culture of ownership, exposure, and real-world growth creates teams that don't just perform, they carry the standard forward. Plus, why creating legacy through people, where the real return on hiring is who they become and who they go on to build, makes business-sense.
