What does it take to lead a REIT when the operating environment is more complex, more selective, and less forgiving than in prior cycles? Ferguson Partners' Courtney Calinog and Mike C. joined the NAREIT REIT Report podcast to explore exactly that: REIT Leadership Expectations Amid More Complex Environment The conversation draws on direct input from CEOs and senior executives across the REIT sector, and covers where future leaders are coming from, how the strongest organizations are building their bench, and why the CEO role has evolved from running an operating company to leading a capital allocation platform.   One theme that runs through all of it: leadership isn't a soft lever in this environment. It's the growth strategy.   Worth a few minutes of your time if you work in or around the REIT space. https://lnkd.in/gZ3teFSM  

Is resilience trainable — or are you just wired that way? Mike C. put that question to Patrick Eberhart a former Navy SEAL officer and ultra marathoner, and his answer reframes everything about how we think about pressure and performance. 💬 "The people that break tend to see stress as a threat — something that's happening to them. The people that bend see it as information, something they can use." — Pat Eberhart For leaders in commercial real estate navigating a volatile market, Ferguson Partners found that agility, flexibility, and resilience are mission critical leadership traits.

🌟 Strengthen Your Leadership Bench — Sponsor a Rising Woman Leader 🌟 Women's History Month is a powerful reminder of how far women in leadership have come — and how much intentional investment it still takes to keep that momentum going. At Ferguson Partners, our Women's Leadership Development Program (WLDP) is one way we're turning that commitment into action, year-round. We're now accepting nominations for Cohort 4, kicking off in late April 2026. We invite organizations to sponsor senior-level women ready to accelerate their leadership journey, expand their networks, and shape the future of the real estate and real assets industry. After three successful cohorts — and a 100% participant recommendation rate — we've seen firsthand the impact this program has on the women who go through it and the organizations that sponsor them. Who is this for? Senior-level high potentials and rising C-suite women across investing, operations, and corporate roles in the real estate and real assets industry. Program Highlights: ✅ A 6-month hybrid journey, including three in-person workshops and personalized executive coaching ✅ Development anchored in Ferguson Partners' proprietary Leadership Capability Framework focused on Perspective, People, and Performance ✅ Industry-relevant case studies and peer learning with leaders from diverse organizations ✅ Cross-company networking that builds relationships and drives innovation What participants are saying: 🔹 "The energizing exchange of ideas challenged me to think about my own leadership approach. This was done in a space for women leaders to grow together and learn from each other. Highly relevant." Who will you sponsor? Let's connect if you'd like to explore sponsoring one or more rising women leaders for our late April 2026 cohort. Together, we can strengthen the future leadership bench of our industry. #LeadershipDevelopment #WomenInLeadership #RealEstateLeadership #FPWomensLeadership #WomensHistoryMonth
