Here's what you can look forward to learning from Kerri:
Creating an environment where people can thrive:
- Provide great technology/tools (why Fortress exists)
- Give them other great people, reward your overachievers by not burdening them with under-achievers)
- Demand that they use their voice, and then create a safe (but also authentic) environment for them to collaborate with open dissention
- The way it has been done isn’t the way it needs to be done – encourage free thinking and entrepreneurialism
Giving back:
- Giving team members an outlet to contribute to a philanthropic cause is hugely impactful.
- Affordability is a huge component of housing today, and those of us in real estate are in a great position to give back to the communities through housing.
