Follow on Google News | NAAEI, Dale Carnegie Training Partner on Baltimore Course to Close Apartment Industry Leadership GapBy: National Apartment Association Education Institute NAAEI developed the course after hearing from industry executives and managers that the apartment industry does a good job training its onsite staff but falls down in providing the necessary training when those people are promoted into mid-level leadership roles. NAAEI launched the NAAEI Leadership Experience: Powered by Dale Carnegie last fall with a pilot class in Atlanta. The course was held a second time earlier this month in Dallas. The two-day course covers topics such as developing personal leadership, communicating to lead, coaching for performance, delegating and building trust, credibility and respect. These skills are critical for people moving into mid-level management roles in the apartment industry. The course targets regional managers, mid-level managers and corporate department heads. The apartment industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years. Nearly 35 million Americans now call apartments “home,” and as many as 7 million new renter households are expected this decade. As a result, people in the industry who have worked hard have been promoted fairly quickly into management positions. Without the proper leadership training, they can have a negative impact on employee turnover rates and the success of the apartment communities they oversee. Kendra Majors, NALP, area manager for Western Rim Property Services, mentors a team of six to eight properties and attended the Dallas course earlier this month. “This course helped me recognize the areas in which I needed improvement to make me more a effective leader and to empower the people around me,” she said. “I recommend the course to others in the profession because you will learn so much about yourself, how to be an effective leader and how to coach those around you.” NAAEI offers two scholarships that pay for recipients to attend the course, which is offered several times a year. It recently announced Melissa White of Marietta, Ga., as the recipient of the Alexandra Jackiw Leadership Scholarship. White will attend the Baltimore course. “It is refreshing to see NAAEI partner with the reputable Dale Carnegie Training to combine Dale Carnegie’s proven leadership principles with the core competencies of multifamily management,” Register for the course by visiting http://www.naahq.org/ ### About the National Apartment Association Education Institute (NAAEI) The National Apartment Association Education Institute (NAAEI) is the education arm of the National Apartment Association.
