In this episode, we explore servant leadership and its role in developing true leaders within organizations. Our guest, an executive leader for over 20 years, raises concerns about the overemphasis on results, potentially overshadowing the importance of genuine leadership in creating attractive workplaces for top talents. We discuss the benefits of enabling professionals to expand their skillset and explore the many career paths in multifamily. We also dive into the need for our maintenance teams to work hands on to retain the necessary knowledge to troubleshoot issues that inevitably arise. Prioritizing critical tasks and the significance of stress relief techniques are also touched upon. This episode offers valuable insights for multifamily leaders passionate about authentic leadership and developing future leaders.
