NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR

It may be an old joke, but many cities like to boast that their official bird is the (construction) crane. If you live in one of these towns, as I do, instead of focusing on the negatives (noise, dirt, traffic detours) of new construction, take a look at the positives (money, leadership).

The National Real Estate Investor bills itself as "the leading authority on commercial real estate trends." Here you'll find up-to-date information on the office, industrial, retail, hotel and multifamily markets.

For news of the executives running those markets, check out Executive Q&A which highlights names in the news, job changes and more

and scroll down through a long page of profiles of ten top moguls. You'll learn that Jonathan Tisch, CEO and chairman of Loews Hotels, had to clean rooms, carry luggage and perform other un-CEO-like chores for The Learning Channel's series "Now Who's Boss," and how his experience affected his company's culture.

"What was the hardest lesson you've learned?"
