As a property manager, or simply a vendor serving the property management industry, in some unspecified time in the future you may find yourself responsible for directing a group of employees. If you are a property manager you will probably find yourself heading a team of maintenance technicians and leasing personnel or as a vendor it may very well be a group of service personnel. As soon as that point occurs, can you be a great leader? Just recently I got the chance to enroll in a wonderful class that explained leadership from a perspective that’s a great deal different than a standard business class. The class was taught using the textbook “The Philosophic Consultant” by Dr. Peter Koestenbaum. Dr. Koestenbaum has been a professor in the Philosophy Department at San Jose State University in California for 34 years. The class taught leadership using the model Dr. Koestenbaum named The Leadership Diamond(R).
