Manley of Commercial Tenant Real Estate Representation discusses 'glass ceiling'

Name : Marisa Manley Title : President Company/firm : Commercial Tenant Real Estate Representation Years with Company/firm : 24 Years in field : 30 Years in real estate industry : 30 Address : 295 Madison Ave., 17th Floor, New York, NY 10017 Telephone : 2126844400 Email : [email protected] URL : www.ctrr.net Real estate organizations/affiliations : Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, New York State Bar Association and Women President's Organization What is your biggest leadership challenge, other than the 'glass ceiling'? Leading during a crisis is relatively easy. Routine assignments are more challenging, given the need to maintain focus, urgency and commitment from the team. I meet this challenge by telling them stories about how our work affects each client. We structured a lease for a Florida client which conserved cash and helped their school grow from 40,000 to 100,000 s/f providing education to more adults. Stories like this make the meaning of our work clear, and a leader's role is to tell these stories to make each mission compelling.
