The Power of “I Need Help” in Multifamily Leadership

Strong multifamily leaders don’t have all the answers.

They have the confidence to ask for help.

In leadership, ego is expensive.

Pretending to know everything leads to costly mistakes.

The best leaders don’t hoard knowledge.

Saying, “I need help,” isn’t weakness—it’s strength.

It invites collaboration.

Builds trust.

It creates a culture where one plus one equals three.

When a regional manager asks a leasing agent for frontline insights, they leverage expertise.

When an executive seeks advice from a maintenance director, they’re accelerating problem-solving.

Pride keeps leaders stuck.

Humility moves them forward.

Teams mirror their leaders.

If you never ask for help, neither will they.

That means problems fester in silence.

Part of a leader’s role is about removing friction.

The best way to do that?

Admit when you need support.

The moment you do, you unlock resources.

A leader who never asks for help is leading alone.

A leader who does is building something human-centric and powerful.
