Most leadership failures don’t happen in a dramatic meltdown or a high-profile scandal. They happen quietly. ??

The ones who disengage from their teams — ???? ?????????? ?????????? ?????????????????? ???????? ?????? ??????????????.

No one else will drive your career in multifamily forward for you. Here's how you can take control today.

Everyone talks about bad hires, but what about the ones that aren’t bad—just… fine? The leader who meets expectations but never exceeds them. The executive who keeps things running but never innovates. The hire who fills the role but doesn’t elevate the team. At first, these hires seem harmless. But over time, they’re the ones quietly costing you the most: ?? They stall innovation—Your competitors are evolving while your team is maintaining. ? They slow down progress—Instead of driving change, they’re just keeping up. ?? They lower the bar—Your best people want inspiring leadership. If they don’t get it, they leave. The cost of a ‘good enough’ hire? A company that stays stuck. Experienced executive recruiting partners like peoplezest don’t just look for experience on a resume — we look for leaders who create momentum. The ones who push companies forward, inspire teams, and turn ‘good’ into ‘great.’ ?? Don’t settle for average when your company needs exceptional. If you’re hiring for leadership in multifamily, let’s talk. ?? Have you ever made a ‘good enough’ hire and regretted it later?

Leadership changes aren’t just happening inside your company — they’re happening across the entire multifamily industry. ?? A competitor’s COO steps down… their SVP moves up… and suddenly, they’re looking at YOUR leadership team to fill the gap. ?? A fast-growing firm expands into a new market… they need an experienced executive… and they’re offering top dollar for the right talent. ?? A high-profile executive starts taking calls from recruiters… and before you know it, they’ve accepted an offer you never saw coming. This is the leadership shuffle. It’s happening right now. And the companies that prepare will win the talent game. The ones that don’t? They’ll find themselves scrambling to fill key positions — while their competitors move forward without missing a beat. ======================== How to Stay Ahead of the Shuffle: ? Have a succession plan in place — Don’t wait until a leader leaves to figure out their replacement. ? Strengthen retention strategies — If your leadership team isn’t engaged, they’re already a flight risk. ? Work with a recruiting partner who sees the shifts before they happen — Because the best leaders are in demand before they’re even on the market. ======================== ?? The question isn’t IF leadership movement will impact you — it’s WHEN. Are you prepared? ======================== ?? How do you ensure your company doesn’t lose top talent during an industry-wide leadership shuffle? Drop your thoughts below! #MultifamilyLeadership #ExecutiveHiring #LeadershipShuffle #Peoplezest

What happens when your VP of Operations resigns with 30 days' notice? ? Do you have a succession plan ready? ? Is there a pipeline of internal leaders prepared to step up? ? Can your team handle the transition without disruption? If you’re like 80% of multifamily companies, the answer is no — and that’s a problem. When leadership departures catch companies off guard, the impact is felt everywhere: ?? Operational slowdowns Critical decisions stall, and team efficiency suffers. ?? Employee uncertainty Without strong leadership, morale and engagement decline. ?? Lost revenue & increased costs Scrambling to find a replacement leads to rushed (and costly) hiring mistakes. ?? The Cost of Not Planning Replacing a single executive can cost up to 213% of their salary in lost productivity, recruitment fees, and transition disruptions. Succession planning isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a necessity. At Peoplezest, we help multifamily companies build leadership pipelines and make proactive executive hires — so you’re never left scrambling when a key leader exits. ??

A great leader elevates a team. A bad one will send your best talent straight to your competitors. ?? ========== Here are 3 signs your #leadership team might be out of sync with today’s workforce: ?? ???????? ???????????????? & ???????????????????? ?????????????????? If your best people are leaving (or mentally checking out), leadership isn’t connecting with their needs, goals, or motivations. ?? ???????? ???? ?????????? & ???????????????????????? Leaders who dictate instead of communicating create a culture of fear. Employees want collaboration, clarity, and trust. ?? ??????-????????-????????-?????? ???????????????????? ?????????? Today’s workforce expects adaptable, people-first leadership. If your leaders are still managing like it’s 2010, you’re losing ground. ========== The truth is that a strong executive team doesn’t just manage people — it keeps them engaged, motivated, and aligned with your company’s success.
