OfficeWhen I was growing up (still am in many ways), I used to watch with pride as my dad walked out to go to work in his suit, perfectly pressed shirt and tie, newly polished shoes and matching belt.

OfficeThere are a lot of similarities between baseball and commercial real estate. Although we aren’t working toward a World Series title like the Rangers, when we all band together and hold each other collectively accountable, the results we can achieve are much more powerful than as individuals—and many times equally as fulfilling. The most intriguing aspect of the Rangers is that there are no prima donnas. The team functions as a whole; the players have complementary skills and they work well together.
