Jason Turton, VP Business Development of Diane Turton, Realtors, has graduated from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World's MAESTRO Leadership Certification program, one of nearly 30 real estate branch sales managers from top brokerages around the country. The program was created to address the critical industry need to develop talented and highly effective real estate leaders for the future, and only select applicants from LeadingRE member companies are accepted into the program.

Based on proprietary and validated research conducted by LeadingRE with 300 sales managers, the rigorous MAESTRO program encompasses three pillars of great office leadership, as determined by the research. It is the first program of its kind in the industry, with the goal of using science and art to establish and practice leadership mastery.

Participants attended three live sessions held at LeadingRE’s Chicago headquarters that included lectures and interactive workshops incorporating ‘real life’ exercises, case studies and group activities. Ongoing support from staff and fellow participants ensures continued engagement and measurable results from the program.  

Turton was among a prestigious group of participants from 14 states across the U.S. Graduation took place on the last day of the program with each participant being recognized individually for their commitment and accomplishment of the program.
