2,003 - Thereby #7: How High-Maintenance Team Members Stall Your Multifamily Growth

Multifamily Collective Podcast

Let’s talk about the hidden cost of high-maintenance behavior in your business.In this episode of the Thereby Series, Mike Brewer takes aim at a term that might feel loaded — high maintenance — and gives it a hard, honest look through the lens of Multifamily leadership.This isn’t just about someone being “needy.”This is about the team member who consumes time, energy, and attention from every department — HR, marketing, risk, accounting, learning & development.They slow the machine.They gum up collaboration.They treat their high-maintenance tendencies like a badge of honor.And thereby, they cost your business more than you realize.But here’s the good news: there’s a better way.Contrast that with the resourceful team member — the one who seeks solutions before asking for help, who comes with options instead of just problems, who self-educates in an age when knowledge is a click away.In a business moving fast — especially in Multifamily — that kind of teammate isn’t just helpful.They’re essential.This is a call to leaders: set the tone, celebrate the resourceful, and address the drag.Because if your organization is full of high-maintenance mindsets, you’re not just tired — you’re stuck.Like this kind of raw, real-world leadership content?Smash the like button, subscribe for more, and share this with someone navigating the high-maintenance maze.
