Sometimes you need to play defense
I was watching the NBA all star game last night and the defense
was nonexistent. For a while, it was fun to watch. Players running up and down
the court unobstructed, scoring at will, but after a while it became boring and
no fun to watch. The score was so high that it almost approached a point where
the scoreboard would not have been able to keep the score.
Now I understand why these players don’t want to play defense,
they don’t want to risk injury and for that, I say fine. This game is for fun
and the players and the fans were having just that, fun.
There is a lesson for all of us here in a business sense that without defense, things will get out of control. All of us like
things to move along smoothly and we all know that when we put arguments in the
way of that, people get upset, but it is good business to make sure that those
arguments get heard and if we feel that those arguments have merit we need to
lean in favor of upsetting the consensus. The pitfalls of being a business
owner are that you need to be able to push back even when you become the cog in
the wheel.
In my business of Property Management, pushing back seems to
be an everyday event. Pushing back from owners who lean one way and Tenants who
lean the other. To me a smooth running business, is a property where the
Tenants understand that I need to hold the line and Owners understand that I
need to do what is also right for the Tenants and that is always a cog in the
wheel, but if I am doing my job right, then the management of the property will
be as smooth as possible, but that does not mean conflict free.
