#39 - Cade Fowler on Listening, Guiding, and Building Trust in Leadership

In this episode of Leading Lubbock, Ruben sits down with Cade Fowler, Executive Officer of the Lubbock Association of REALTORS®. Cade reflects on his 20+ years of leadership, from his early days in key services to guiding one of West Texas’s largest trade associations. He shares how listening more than speaking, guiding with guardrails, and building trust have shaped his leadership. Cade also opens up about navigating change in the MLS, raising two boys with his wife Leslie, and how lessons from parenting often mirror leadership at the Association. His book recommendation, Start with Why by Simon Sinek, reminds us that purpose fuels both organizations and people.
