How critical is it to develop new talent in a time where COVID-19 continues to disrupt the real estate landscape? AFIRE’s Mentorship Committee weighs in on an emerging and novel approach to create new opportunities for today’s rising leaders.
While COVID-19 has caused a disruption in the work life dynamic by strict scheduling and the lack of informal communication, it stresses the importance of a distinct approach to corporate culture, investing in people.
At the core of mentorship is enhancing and supporting new talent, but only is it possible to foster these relationships when we broaden our perspectives of what it means to be a mentor today. With a limited talent pool, a structured approach to creating meaningful relationships is required.
In this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, Amy Price (BentallGreenOak), Steve McCarthy (AXA IM), and Jon Dishell (Gemini Rosemont), discusses the three-tier industry-wide approach they are taking to improve mentorship relationships within commercial real estate.
