the Regional Residency

. . .

While job descriptions outline responsibilities, they rarely prepare individuals for the true scope and complexity of the role. Designed for internal candidates seeking to move into a regional position, the Regional Residency bridges the gap between high-performance property management and strategic portfolio oversight. This allows organizations to evaluate readiness through observable decision-making rather than relying solely on subjective opinions, interviews, or resumes, while providing a constructive, high-level experience for team members.

Through targeted preparation exercises, participants navigate ambiguity and prioritize competing needs. This process moves beyond immediate fixes to long-term solutions, providing an authentic view of an individual's potential to lead the complex ecosystem of a portfolio. Once concluded, a collective reflection helps them learn from different perspectives and identify gaps in their thinking.

By providing a "residency," internal candidates can begin the practice of this role before they are provided full autonomy to lead a portfolio. This framework also provides an accelerated immersion for individuals new to the industry, allowing them to ramp up at a pace that aligns with the company’s growth goals.
