How to Speak Maintenance: Why the Best Techs Don’t Always Make the Best Supervisors

Each month, host Jason Fein teams up with TAA Education Foundation’s Becca Ramati to chat with industry guests about the critical role maintenance teams play in our communities. Together, they explore real-world topics that strengthen onsite collaboration, improve communication, and elevate the overall resident experience.

In this episode, we’ll discuss why almost every company struggles with the career transition from maintenance tech to supervisor and how can we make it easier.

Key discussion points:

• The difference between technical skill and leadership skill
• The “player-to-coach” shift
• Common mistakes new supervisors make
• How companies can support the transition

Guest: Cerwin Thompson, Vice President of Facilities, RPM Living
