1,897 - Stop Making Life Too Easy for Your Team: The Multifamily Leadership Challenge

Think you're helping your team by making their lives easier? You might be doing more harm than good. Let’s explore why. In this episode, we’re tackling a common misconception in leadership: the idea that making life easy for your team members is a virtue. While the intent might come from a good place, constantly stepping in to handle your team’s responsibilities—payroll, POS tasks, or even tough conversations—does more harm than good. You’re not just taking on extra work but enabling dependency and stifling growth. People don’t thrive in comfort zones. They want to be challenged, stretched, and given opportunities to overcome obstacles. When you do the hard work for them, you rob them of the chance to grow professionally and personally. It’s time to step back. Say “no” to unnecessary handholding and let your team members wrestle with their responsibilities. Yes, they might fumble or struggle at first, but that’s where the growth happens. The result? A more potent, more confident team ready to take on any challenge. Stop enabling. Start empowering. Your team—and your leadership—will be better for it. If this message resonates with you, like this video and subscribe for more Multifamily leadership insights.
