RETURNING TO THE LESSONS
RELATED TO PIGEONHOLES
Smaller firms – AKA "the rest of us" – especially must think
creatively about keeping talent challenged. If we don't,
the talent – and the investment in that talent – will be lost.
Employees who perceive themselves as Pigeonholed will leave
to broaden their experience or pursue investment roles that
better position them as future Leaders. But if they do leave, it's
just as important to think broadly rather than narrowly about the
replacement search and ask, "Are we doing the right search?"
Similarly, for employees, the key lesson is: Think strategically.
This is toughest when you are starting out, since the tendency
is to keep your head down and get the work done. That's not
enough. Pop your periscope up and out of your Pigeonhole.
Think about your career relative to the big picture – your life,
ambitions, and the opportunities the real estate industry offers.
For everyone, beware of Pigeonholes!
" Think about your career relative to
the big picture – your life, ambitions,
and the opportunities the real estate
industry offers."
