Senior leadership is a shell of what you are as a consultant; almost like a reverse locus effect. You as the Leasing Consultant are the budding locus waiting to be sucked into a cocoon of mediocrity. Yes, they have a host of outdated knowledge, that doesn't necessarily pertain to our unique situation, but ultimately you are left to your own devices to manage problems. And, of course, they are there to pat you on the back if things go well, but vise versa to the alternative outcome. For those of the faint of hearts, heed my warning and find another career path, but if you thrive in conflict and hate mundane modernity such as I, then dive in and test your limits.
