🌟 Honoring a Legacy of Leadership 🌟 At hertelier, we often reflect on what makes an outstanding leader, and this week, columnist Nancy Mendelson penned a moving tribute to one such figure, Dick Pinkham. Long before empathy and compassion were recognized as essential leadership qualities, Dick embodied them effortlessly. His ability to build trust and loyalty created a positive work environment that continued to unite his team, even after corporate politics disrupted their department. Nancy’s piece is a touching reminder that the connections we build in the workplace often transcend the job itself. As she shares the personal impact Dick had on her life and career, we’re reminded of the importance of telling those we value just how much they mean to us. Dick’s legacy as a kind, compassionate, and inspiring leader lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. 💙 Please read Nancy's full reflection on Dick’s leadership and legacy here: https://lnkd.in/ejarxM6p #Leadership #Empathy #Compassion #WorkplaceCulture #InMemory #GreatBoss #hertelier #womenintravel #womeninhospitality
