Some personal news to share: As many of the folks close to me know, I’m stepping aside from Buildium/RealPage. I thought it was only fitting to take the chance now to reflect on not just how to lead with EQ… but how to leave with EQ: linkedin.com/pulse/how-leave…

As many of the folks close to me know, I’m stepping aside from Buildium/RealPage. At this point, I’ve shared the news dozens of times with colleagues, bosses, and friends — and slowly, it’s starting...

Hey @usta. Your inability to be able to handle the use case of registering a player online who is 18 but turning 19 during the season is just laughable. #fail #oldtech

Hey @Delta , it's now been a few weeks and I keep updating my lost item report with the location of the iPad at Atlanta Airport from Find My iPad. You keep responding with your canned response that you don't know where it is... #fail #CustomerServiceFail

Hey @Delta , I've been tracking my lost iPad for the past week from Paris to Atlanta Airport, but I keep getting a canned response back from you saying you don't know where it is despite the screenshots I keep providing you...someone should be able to help here.

It’s not an understatement to say the pandemic upended the #rentalmarket as we knew it. So this might mean that different types of renters might be interested in your properties than in the past. More from the @Buildium blog: ow.ly/DT9A50FcY1P

When I left a previous role one of the pieces of advice that I left was a skiing metaphor. ⛷️ I’m thinking about this metaphor again now that my journey at @Buildium is coming to an end so I wanted to share it with you:

When you’re standing on top of the rim of a bowl and you’re looking down, all you’re thinking is: “There’s no way I can do that.” But it’s eclipsed very quickly as soon as you push yourself over the edge of the bowl.

When you look back up and see how far you’ve come, it’s such a great feeling of: “Wow, I just did that.” Just like that, you forget about all the fear you had at the top. So, for anyone who’s standing at the edge of the bowl right now, I hope this offers some encouragement.

As some of you may know, I’m leaving Buildium/RealPage. I’m so grateful for the experience and what I’ve learned here. These 4.5 years made me a better leader & gave me life lessons that have made me a better human, too. Sharing some of my reflections: ow.ly/OFn450Fl2kW

#Dadvice of the week: Prioritize the relationships that matter. It sounds cliche but the more you work, the more you realize how important it is to spend time with the people you love. At the end of the day, it’s your loved ones who are going to be there for you.

One of the biggest obstacles to achieving your goals? The willingness to believe in yourself. Love this piece of #mondaymotivation from Liz and Mollie.
Would you rather work for a leader who’s bold and charismatic? Or humble and laid-back? @theeiguy shares why humility is an increasingly sought after leadership trait: ow.ly/IK7M50EQHux
The pandemic caused apartment renters to prioritize amenities like reliable Wifi and extra space to work from home. But even as people go back to the office, these trends are likely here to stay. ow.ly/UN6o50EQHth

Apartment Renters’ Shifted Amenities Preferences Are Likely to Last After COVID-19

What became important to multifamily residents changed during the pandemic. Those choices are not likely to change even as things return to normal.

In the past, #companyculture was often equated with office perks. Now, “remote-first” is the new shiny object that’s being conflated with culture. But that’s a bad idea. My argument: ow.ly/PWCq50Ff7UY

The Limits of “Remote-First Culture”

Scan through job postings these days, and you’ll inevitably see it. Sometimes it’s spelled out in big, bold letters; other times it’s buried in the perks and benefits.
