140: Values-Centered Team Leadership, With Carlos Vaz
As the saying goes, "when things get tough, the tough get going." It is always fascinating to hear the story of a leader who has battled the greatest odds, traversed the longest journeys, and risen to success based on seemingly simple principles and values such as: 'family'. It is then truly a joy to witness how a singular value can affect their teams, leadership approach, and treatment of customers and stakeholders.
In this episode, we meet Carlos Vaz, who is the CEO and CO-Founder at CONTI Organization. CONTI is a multi-family real estate investment firm with over 10,000+ units under management and over $1 Billion in executed transactions.
