Question #1
Given Marr’s reputation was built on transformative growth, will he maintain the discipline to focus on the defensive operational grind of stabilizing rates, or will he feel pressure to pursue a large acquisition to reignite growth?
Question #2
Since the market largely absolves Marr of recent underperformance, how does he internally drive accountability for granular operational challenges like falling move-in rates versus attributing them to external market forces?
