This is where the word “resilient” comes to mind. The definition of “resil- ient” is a person who can withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. This is definitely a quality that a good manager must have — to be resilient. Managers must be able to roll with the punches, not take things personally, and keep it moving when faced with “Knowing ‘a lot about a lot’ is quite the skill in itself. This is a superpower!” challenges. A positive outlook means that managers never make the same mistake twice!

Managers must be detail-orientated, fast-thinking, resilient, and hold a plethora of knowledge about so many different aspects of this industry; insurance, reserve studies, audits, elections, amendments, soliciting bids, budgets, contract negotiations, meeting minutes, and governing docu- ments are just skimming the top of what managers need to know. Plus, manag- ers must be well versed in the services that vendors provide to the communities, such as irrigation, trash removal, snow removal, concrete projects, roofing, etc.
