LEGISLATION & PUBLIC RESOURCES

---

Some people will roll their eyes at the word empathy. They’ll call it soft. Unnecessary. They’ll say, "Keep politics out of business," because it makes them feel uncomfortable. But this isn’t just about feelings. It’s about whether the industry can even function five years from now. It’s about retention, stability & the long-term survival of strata management as a profession. Ignoring the human cost doesn’t make you objective, it makes you complicit. So, ask yourself, are you leading, or are you sitting by while the system collapses? 

When no one is sure who’s in charge of what, things tend to go sideways fast. Strata governance is no different. Blurred roles, and the related dysfunction, can cost owners ridiculous amounts of time, money & frustration. Check out the article to learn more about strata roles & responsibilities, and the practical challenges strata managers face. 

The strata management industry is eager for new talent, but more crucially, it demands well-trained strata managers. Given the fast-paced nature of the field, managers are often thrust into their roles and expected to learn on the job.

We had the opportunity to speak with the insightful Katharine Olson, Associate Broker in Strata & Rental Management, who specializes in training and development. She shared her perspectives on the challenges and solutions for providing reliable training to get strata managers well prepared and confident. [Stratagize/Apple Podcasts]
