Improvise

Welcome to the property management blog, where we watch the property management game.

I am still watching tradesmen finishing out the face-lift on our building. The dry-waller who is working in my office ran into a few complications today, because his substrate was not what he had hoped for. So I got to watch him improvise and work out a way to prepare for the final finish without ideal circumstance. Isn’t this what we usually do anyway?

We set up a project or work on a strategy and find that we are lacking either, resources, momentum or even a substrate. Then we have to improvise. It is amazing to see how property managers, maintenance technicians, leasing agents and executives manage to get from point A to point B by improvising and inveting along the way. Sometimes we make “it” happen by ignoring the obstacles and just moving forward in spite of them. The building we are housed in is a great example. It has been updated and renovated many times, each time for a slightly different use or to give a different image. Each time the end result is successful, although the process and the details are not always pretty or predicatable.

The gym teacher I had in the third grade used to get in trouble with parents because he would wait until you were not paying attention and then throw a ball at you and yell “Think fast!” A few parents thought this was mean. He knew it helped us with quick thinking and quick reactions. His intention was to get a good basketball and football team. He didn’t realize that it also helps when your management strategies are wavering and you need to improvise.
