“Make [self care] a priority as the individual…as a leader, you have to facilitate an environment where people feel like they're empowered to do it and give them the permission to do it. When you come into an organization and you're leading a team, some people feel like they can't take time off or while they're on vacation or over the weekend, send emails or get on calls. And I'm the first one on my team that discourages that. And frankly, times where I just demand that people don't do that. There has to be a period where you're recharging the batteries and recuperating…step away for a little bit and come back and be able to pick it back up again and rev the engine higher than I did before.” Aly El-Bassuni, Divisional President, Aimbridge Hospitality WATCH NOW:  https://lnkd.in/gyX9rDuG LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/gZFU9Ru5 Aly discusses with Rachel Humphrey of DEI Advisors why he insists on leading a corporate culture which includes self-care. He shares why he and his family have opted to move several times to support his career and how he evaluates those decisions along with tackling other risks and challenges. He talks about relationship building in a small industry and developing leadership skills, especially strategies to manage others as you develop a team. He also tells his younger self to view life as a marathon not a sprint. #diversityandinclusion #deiadvisors #leadership #hospitalityindustry #empoweringpersonalsuccess #dei  

“The perspective that I've learned over this past year is that we can do hard things well. Sometimes you think that was a tough year, that was a tough project, and it's going to get easier…you're growing from those hard times so that you're prepared for the next hard thing you do. And I've really learned that I can do that next thing. I can do that hard thing. And at the end of the day it's nice to see and realize that when the next hard thing comes, and I have that doubt, I can look back on this and go, oh, it will work out. It will be for the benefit of everyone.” Julie Arrowsmith, President & CEO, G6 Hospitality LLC Hospitality WATCH NOW: https://lnkd.in/eHHV9d5F LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/eHTWpX7E Julie discusses with Rachel Humphrey of DEI Advisors her style of leadership, the biggest lesson she's learned over the past year, and how it will impact her moving forward. She shares her approach to public speaking, how she overcomes self doubts, and how staying fresh and learning the whole business helped her grow during her first 29 years at G6, eventually resulting in her current CEO role. Finally, Julie talks about managing business travel, finding time to refresh outside of work, and the underlying basis for her mantra of "be kind to everyone always." #diversityandinclusion #deiadvisors #leadership #hospitalityindustry #empoweringpersonalsuccess #dei #womeninhospitality #womenempoweringwomen

“Be interested; don't be interesting. If you're genuinely trying to get to know people, they will open up because most people like to speak about themselves. Listen intently when they speak to you, and you'll build a relationship. And you'll be surprised they know someone that you know. And then you start to tie those together, and after 35 years, the network becomes pretty diverse.” Thom Geshay, CEO & President, Davidson Hospitality Group WATCH NOW:  https://lnkd.in/g3GnsrcE LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/grxfSD4w Thom shares with Lan Elliott of DEI Advisors how mentors and his innate curiosity were instrumental in his rise from bellman to CEO of Davidson, and how learning to delegate and trust his team benefits everyone.  He discusses how many decisions involve risk, the dangers of waiting until you gather 100% of the data, and the need to be supportive when your team takes calculated risks that don’t work out.  Thom also explains how to establish a mentoring relationship, and why mentoring others can be a gift. #diversityandinclusion #deiadvisors #leadership #hospitalityindustry #empoweringpersonalsuccess #dei

Hotel GMs are invaluable. At least, the good ones are! I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with 100s of incredible GMs in my time. Each with a unique approach to hotel management. Each with their own priorities. The greatest hotel leaders: 🎇 Inspire and create energy and excitement. Just like Malcolm Allan. 🤝 Create an interdependent trustworthy team. Just like Craig Munro. 🏋️♂️ Set a high bar. Just like Sven Morné Goosen, MBA. 🌱Nurture their talent. Just like Gary Rice. 💡Engage and recognise their teams in hotel culture. Just like Ahmet Donmez 👨🏫 Train and develop a high performing team of hospitality experts. Just like….. All of the above! And that’s what high performing leaders, in my slightly biased opinion (!) have in common. A passion and focus to grow and develop their teams. Every GM who has focused on training and development I’ve ever known has ALWAYS had a strong hotel performance to back it up. 📌 What (or who!) have I missed? #DevelopmentReimagined #Hospitality #GeneralManagers #Leadership #Hotels https://lnkd.in/eytR2tfr

Leading People In a city where there are several hotels, all hotels were doing fairly well in terms of business except one. On interacting with the leader, he said this - These people are paid to do a job and that is all I expect them to do. If they don't like it, the door is open. If you refer to your team as just 'these people', you've already started on the wrong foot. Just because you manage a hotel doesn't guarantee that your employees see you as a leader. Gaining the respect and support of your team does not come from the position that you hold. Employees need to be 'led'. Employees are the key to running a successful operation. Ignore this fact at your own peril. If you analyse what actually happens in your hotel every day, you'll see clearly that there are three basic dimensions - the what, the how and the who. The what refers to the goals you are trying to achieve. This is what sets you up for excellence. It includes your plans and targets you have put in place to achieve your goals. The how refers to the manner in which the work gets done. It includes productivity, efficiency and quality. The who refers to all the staff you employ to do the work. It involves their commitment, competence and motivation. You don't have to be a superhero to understand that the what and the how are ultimately dependent on the who. #HotelManagement #Hotel #Leadership #Excellence

It is great to see our CEO Warren Fields quoted, “Our success is not driven by me, our success is driven by the 17,000 associates that we have that are executing every day. All we’re trying to do at the above-property level is to give them the resources, the tools, and the encouragement to do their job,” #theabbeyresort #abbeyresort #BenchmarkPyramid #PyramidGlobalHospitality #pghpeoplefirst
