Welcome back to another episode of the Multifamily Collective! Today, I discuss the powerful quote from Roy H. Williams' book, *The Wizard of Ads*: "The risk of insult is the price of clarity." As a masterful copywriter and founder of The Wizard Academy, Williams emphasizes the necessity of boldness in communication. You may risk offending others when striving for clarity, especially in multifamily and PropTech leadership. It's crucial to understand that your unique perspective, shaped by your upbringing and experiences, will sometimes clash with prevailing sentiments. Yet, this conflict is often necessary for clear and effective leadership. In times of crisis, hesitation can lead to failure. Leaders must be decisive, even if it means ruffling a few feathers. Being transparent and direct is not just about persuasion; it's about ensuring your vision is understood and acted upon swiftly.
