Integrating Dharma into Multifamily Leadership: A Guiding Principle for Executives

Dharma, a concept deeply rooted in various philosophical traditions, isn’t often associated with multifamily leadership. However, its principles can have a profound impact on the way we approach leadership in our field.
What Is Dharma?
Dharma refers to the path of righteousness, the ethical and moral principles guiding an individual’s life. It emphasizes personal responsibility, honesty, integrity, and compassion. These are values we should aspire to, especially in a leadership role. So, how can we bring Dharma into our professional lives?
The Dharma-Driven Leader
Dharma-driven leadership aligns your decisions with core values, emphasizing fairness and empathy in all interactions. Here are some ways to make Dharma a cornerstone of your leadership:
- Understand Your Core Values: Identify what truly matters to you and your community. These values will guide your decisions, creating a harmonious and prosperous environment.
- Foster a Sense of Responsibility: Encourage your team to take responsibility for their actions and the well-being of the community members they serve. It will foster a sense of trust and loyalty among your colleagues.
- Build Meaningful Relationships: Focus on nurturing relationships with colleagues, clients, and residents. Transparent communication, empathy, and respect are key to a Dharma-driven leader.
- Emphasize Integrity in Decision Making: Act with integrity, even when it may be challenging. Make decisions based on what is right, not what is easy.

Virginia Love | Collective Conversations
Release Date: 08.08.2023
In this episode, Mike Brewer sits down with Virginia Love – Industry Principle at Entrata. Virginia is a highly respected expert in the multifamily industry with a long history in multifamily leasing, marketing, and operations. She is a champion of the people in our industry and has a deep understanding of the ways that technology impacts the front-line teams and believes that it is our responsibility to elevate the role our team members play in the success of our industry.
Key Discussion Points:
- Lasting impact of the pandemic: The pandemic shed attention on the importance of the site teams and led to the current focus on them as the drivers of performance and doing what is right for the site teams, recognizing the need to reconsider appropriate wage levels. The pandemic accelerated the pace and adoption of technology and forced companies that were sitting on the sidelines to engage with virtual tours, self-guided tours, and more.
- Culture Matters: Entrata is a technology company that actively engages its customers in the Entrata culture – so much so that they become invested in the Entrata brand.
- Economic Inclusion: For decades, the only impact for residents who paid their rent on time was not incurring late fees and being sent to collections. Entrata offers a program that reports resident payment history to the major consumer credit reporting agencies. Giving renters the ability to build their credit by simply paying their rent is a significant economic empowerment tool.
- The Value of Yes – Advice if you desire to grow your multifamily career: Get involved. Make Yourself Indispensable. Do whatever other people don’t want to. Get active in your Apartment Association, IREM, or NMHC. Take every opportunity to learn and don’t wait for someone to teach you. There are countless ways to build your knowledge so take charge of your education and growth.
In between the non-stop camaraderie and laughter, Mike and Virginia share practical tips and advice based on their extensive knowledge and expertise in the multifamily industry.
Whether you’re a seasoned investor, property manager, vendor/supplier, or someone interested in learning more about the multifamily market, this series offers valuable insights that can help you navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities in this dynamic industry.
