🔍 Insightful Accountability from Ann-Marie Bomba, CEO at Strategic Properties Recently on the Decoding Multifamily podcast, Ann-Marie Bomba shared her thoughts on accountability: -Suzanne Hopson: "On accountability.... How do you hold people accountable?, What does that look like?" -Ann-Marie Bomba: "Well, it's being clear in expectations. And then it's measuring. So, you give them clear direction, tell them what you need. Let them figure out how they handle that situation, right? Because there's not one way to make things happen. They've got to have some individuality in how they lead or how they perform. And then just really circling back and talking through it. It needs to be one of those situations where, I feel like if you're clear on your expectations and you have that follow-up, even if they don't necessarily meet your expectations, talk about what that situation looked like. What did we learn from it if we didn't exactly meet the target? and then what can we do better next time? And so use it as a learning opportunity, and then also create a safe place for people to make mistakes. If there's an error, I want my team to feel good and comfortable about raising their hand and saying, hey, that didn't work out the way I thought, so let's talk through it. Here's what I learned, and we can grow together.” At Property Gauge, we understand the power of clear expectations and measurable goals.
