But in reality it's a completely different activity, requiring a very different set of skills.

To effectively lead [and provide work direction and feedback to] employees is a complex, difficult, and "usually-not-done-effectively-by-financial-advisors" task. That is, most advisors STINK at this, if they even attempt to do it at all.

Effective leadership and staff manage- ment requires extraordinary emotional com- petence and communication skills.
Nancy Imholte, CPCC, says,

I've seen [lack of] leadership in both extremes. With some advisors, the employee gets away with whatever they want, and the advisor doesn't know how to stop if. And other times I've seen the advisor be verbally abusive (or passive-aggressive) with their staff.

At Forté one of the most valuable services we provide is helping advisors effectively, productively, respectfully, and enjoyably manage and lead their employees.
