Commercial real estate leaders often find themselves stuck making decisions that others in their team should be handling. The result: wasted time, slower growth, and unnecessary stress.
In episode 240 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, Darren Krakowiak introduces a powerful principle that will help you to free up time while empowering your people to act with confidence.
This principle is simple but effective: execute or escalate. It encourages team members to either take action within their scope or seek support when needed, instead of sitting in indecision.
Darren explains how this mindset shift can transform culture, create accountability, and improve business performance. You’ll also discover:
🔹 The phrase that can shift your team culture instantly
🔹 How to set clear guardrails so people know when to act and when to escalate
🔹 Why indecision is more damaging to your business than mistakes
🔹 The best way to structure escalation so it doesn’t overwhelm you
If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your business and start building a culture of empowerment, this episode shows you how to make it happen.
