You can survive a bad deal. You can even recover from a failed strategy. But some leadership mistakes don’t announce themselves—and they don’t fade quietly.Norman Radow knows this firsthand. As the Founder and CEO of The RADCO Companies, Norman has led more than 150 real estate turnarounds, transforming distressed assets into thriving communities and building one of the most respected multifamily investment and management platforms in the industry. But in this conversation, he goes beyond transactions and trophies.Norman reflects candidly on the harder lessons of leadership—how people decisions compound over time, why trust is far more fragile than capital, and how success can blind even experienced CEOs to the moments that matter most. We explore what it takes to lead after mistakes, how to resist becoming anchored to past wins, and why humility—not confidence—is often the real edge.Dave Osh sat down with Norman to talk about rebuilding neighborhoods, rebuilding trust, and the internal discipline required to stay adaptable after decades at the top. This episode is a reminder that legacy isn’t built by avoiding failure—but by how leaders respond when it shows up.
