There is no doubt that people are the most valuable asset to any organization. A company’s commitment to identifying and developing talented leaders is critical to its longterm success.

Director of Professional Development Mike Smoczyk, Realty President Peter Diessner, Director of Operations Tom Roepke, and Executive Development Consultant Peter Krembs discuss the program and some of the core leadership competencies.
