In this episode of *Unscripted*, host Andrew Bowen sits down with Jason Kae, longtime multifamily leader and author of *Journey to a Rainforest Team Culture*. Jason shares his passion for developing strong team cultures and the story behind his book, which offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating, building, and repairing multifamily team dynamics. He talks about the concept of a Rainforest Team Culture, where employee satisfaction and engagement are intertwined, much like temperature and rainfall in nature. 

Jason’s book uses a compelling fable to illustrate these concepts, focusing on a newly promoted community manager tasked with turning around a toxic team. They discuss the practical applications of this framework, how leaders can identify team strengths and weaknesses, and what it takes to transform a struggling team into a high-performing one. If you want to learn how to cultivate a people-first environment and elevate your team culture, this episode is a must-listen!
