What Good Work Actually Means: How to Speak Maintenance, a TAA Education Foundation Podcast
2026-06-24 12:15 - 12:45
🎙️How to Speak Maintenance: What Good Work Actually Means
Guest: Christopher Faddoul with LUMA Residential
Most teams struggle because no one has clearly defined the standard.
What this month hits:

Why “good job” means something different to everyone
The danger of unclear expectations
How inconsistency shows up across techs and teams
Why standards matter more than speed

The Shift:
👉 Stop assuming people know what “good” is
👉 Start defining it clearly and consistently
Practical Takeaway:

Every task should answer:
“What does done correctly look like?”
(Not just “is it done?”)

What really makes a great onsite team? Strong communication and a deep appreciation for maintenance professionals.
Each month, host Jason Fein, SVP of Maintenance at Windsor Communities 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.
📅 Join us LIVE on LinkedIn on the last Wednesday of every month at 12:15 PM for fresh insights and practical takeaways you can use right away.
