Transitioning into Leadership? Avoid These 4 Traps   We know that great leaders will gain loyalty and increase their team's productivity. However, in the property sector, leadership development can sometimes be lacking. In our recent poll, we know that 38% of FM’s and Property Managers indicated they were looking for a move due to poor leadership.    Often an FM or Property Manager has been promoted due to their expert knowledge rather than their ability to inspire and motivate.
