05.04.22 10:48 PM Comment(s) By Assetsoft

Companies today are rethinking and revisiting their management plans to keep up with the newest trends in the market. As a Commercial Real Estate business owner, you need to take serious notice of this. Practically speaking, there is no good time to better your company leadership and strategy, but the post-pandemic situation has made it quite urgent. 

 

As someone in a leadership position in CRE, your work purview must go much beyond simple cost-cutting and labor-saving strategies. You must constantly be updated about your companies needs and find innovative new ways to scale growth. Never falling short in catching up with market trends and predicting trends even before they start are two of the basics that any CRE property manager and the owner must follow. 

 

But you can make many more calculated moves to better your management strategy and leadership. What are they? 

Essential steps to better Strategy and Leadership 

Great strategy and leadership in CRE is not an overnight task. A tactical plan and wise moves make it successful. Here are the first few steps to start the journey. 

  • Lay the proper groundwork and plan your goals 

 

CRE management and leadership go way beyond simply calculating profit and losses. Understanding and achieving your corporate goals is one of the key focal points for a great leader. First and foremost, you must understand which sector of your business has possibilities for growth and identify them. Then set a proper vision and workable plan to achieve this. You must also have a strict timeline for your work to make real progress. 

 

But even the best of plans face unknown pitfalls, and outstanding leadership will ensure there are enough contingency plans to handle these without significant loss.  


  • Have a clear strategy 

 

Yes, the basic strategy behind any real estate business is to find the right tenant or buyer for your property, be it commercial or residential. But there needs to be a more extensive and more detailed strategy that you need to layout for your team. It should all be part of your strategy, from due diligence to follow-ups and follow-throughs. 

 

Having mentioned that, you must also have enough space and bandwidth for flexibility in your plans. From an assistive technology implementation plan to seamless project management, you must have it all.  


  • Have a well-managed portfolio 

 

Draw up a detailed and carefully curated portfolio for all your real estate holdings. Every location under your portfolio must be individually visited, analyzed, and noted down. Running costs, repairs, lease agreements, renting capacities should all be available at your fingertips. Quick data access will help figure out the next steps. An in-depth analysis will also provide you with better industry insights on the current conditions of your holdings and develop a roadmap to understand different areas of progress. 

 

Harvard Business Review says that a well-managed portfolio can help real estate businesses make a better growth plan. They insist that this also helps people in leadership positions to anticipate and gain positively on their portfolio holdings. 


  • Team up with industry experts 

 

Strategy and leadership form the backbone for growth in any real estate business, especially when it comes to CRE due to the sheer volume of work that comes your way. You can easily outsource your management strategy and leadership plans. But constantly paying and employing an in-house team of experts can be financially draining for you. That is why outsourcing is the best solution for you without compromising quality.

  • Get all stakeholders on board with your plans 

 

All stakeholders and departments inside the business must be on-board with your future. It will help you gain valuable insights from other experienced executives about their needs and ideas. These insights will help you upgrade your plans and help avoid future clashes and riffs between managerial bodies. You must also make your team understand the vision you have for the projects, answer their queries patiently and put up a consistent message for them to have faith in you.  


  • Keep a close check on your growth 

 

You must also plan your Key Performance Indicators (KPI) when you plan your strategy. As the strategies get implemented, you need to monitor your employees and business growth at regular intervals. Analyzing will help you understand if the strategies work. Constantly keep updating these KPIs to assess risks and incorporate immediate needs.  


  • Make your project sustainable 

 

Making your projects environment-friendly and sustainable will help you reduce carbon emissions. Data says green-certified buildings worldwide reduce carbon emissions by 30 - 40%. This helps you do your part for the environment and gets you in your clients’ good books. A commercial building with environmental certifications even increases sales and rents. Why? The upcoming generation is more conscious about their surroundings and wants to do right by the environment even while doing business. This is why market predictions say that the green building projects in the USA alone will rise to $103.08 billion by 2023. You need to take heed of this trend while planning your strategy.
