🎓 Celebrating the Future Leaders of GRT Hotels and Resorts! 🎓 Last week, we proudly celebrated the graduation of the YLP (Young Leaders Program) 2022-24 batch, our 8th cohort of exceptional talent from top hotel schools. These young leaders are poised to be the future leadership strength of GRT Hotels and Resorts, driving our brand forward as we expand our footprint at a rapid pace—having already opened three new hotels this year! I had the honor of delivering the keynote at the graduation ceremony, and my message focused on the concept of Leadership Without Titles: 1. Leadership can emerge at any layer of the organization and should not be dependent on titles or positions. 2. Young leaders should possess the charisma to influence their circle. 3. Aligning their vision with the brand vision is crucial, and they must define this vision clearly to their circle. 4. They should bring an obsessive passion to their work. 5. Discovering their purpose or the Big Why early on is essential to understanding the impact of their actions. 6. Exciting and motivating their circle to share and follow their vision is key. 7. Leaders should work for the team, not the other way around. 8. They must be the go-to person for the team, supporting them through both official and personal challenges. Congratulations to our young leaders! We are excited to see how you will shape the future of GRT Hotels and Resorts with your passion, vision, and unwavering commitment. Here’s to leading with purpose and inspiring those around you! #LeadershipWithoutTitles #YoungLeaders #GRTHotels #FutureOfHospitality #Inspiration #Leadership #GraduationDay

“Managing is rather immediate. It's very day to day. And, when we're in our Managing mindset, we're typically prone to get to an answer quick, to resolve an issue quickly...And when you Lead, you generally want to have a bit more of a tolerance for uncertainty and for perhaps a slower and more thoughtful cadence so that you can fully understand the facts and think through long term implications.” Jay H. Shah, Senior Advisor, Hersha Hotels & Resorts WATCH NOW: https://lnkd.in/e-ASgitZ LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/eJCHsWuc Jay describes to Lan Elliott of DEI Advisors the important distinction between managing and leading, and he shares his approach to taking risks.  He also explains why the easiest approach to networking is thinking of it as developing friendships and why hospitality is a great connector.  He shares a quote that helps overcome self-doubt and why slowing down for big decisions can be advantageous. #diversityandinclusion #deiadvisors #leadership #hospitalityindustry #empoweringpersonalsuccess

By combining the insights gained from a commercial strategy platform with effective leadership, hotels can unlock their full commercial potential.

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

I happened to listen to Naveen Manga's (CTO of Marriott) leadership advise few years back in a leadership development program. He is an inspirational leader with clarity on how to leverage technology to enable business. Today morning, I came across this interview, where he nicely summarized how he is transforming the hospitality industry with the power of technology and fostering culture of Innovation.  Few thoughts which resonated with me based on his interview. Most systems in the past were built with "built to last" mind set and a customer journey in mind. But the question is... a)     Do these systems have a last when technology is changing so fast?  and b)     How do we know that all our customers expect their journey to be the same? What if we give the power of choice to customers so that customers can carveout their own journey in a unique and personal way? Isn’t that more personal than walking them through an experience we design for them? & To do that we need the mind set of "built to change", which needs a strong digital core & Innovation DNA. I hope some of you find this interesting too.

Service without hospitality is simply a transaction 😒 I've spent the last 30+ years in the hospitality industry. This TED talk is right on point. These same principles apply to all businesses - no matter the industry. When we become transactional in business or in life - we can NOT sustain success. We must put hospitality before service. That's the key to long term success in anything we do. Putting people first is the key to lasting business success. People before process. The main ingredient in any meal should hospitality. Service is a commodity. 🤔 Why should someone pick your business over someone else? What are your thoughts? Leave us an note in the comments. 👇 #leadership #innovation #upwork https://lnkd.in/gkYgd2w4

One skill every aspiring hotel GM should develop. In our industry, critical thinking is a significant differentiator between those who progress consistently and those who don’t.   𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐳𝐳 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧?   From the outside looking in at many top-performing hotel leaders, it’s the “it” factor. Many who have it don’t know where they got it, and for many who don’t, they don’t know what “it” is.   𝐒𝐨, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬?   Although many nuances and strategies contribute to critical thinking, let’s start with one.   Simply think as though you were in a different role in the process. Can you think like an owner? Can you think like your boss? Can you think like your team? Can you think like your customer? Can you feel what they feel?   Viewing challenges from different perspectives will give alternate solutions. If you’re someone who comes up with logical solutions, you’re going to excel.   𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲, 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞?   There are people who are good at following directions, and then there are people who are good at coming up with directions. To go to the next level, you need to develop the latter.   If you do, career progression is almost guaranteed. 💲 💪 📈 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘧𝘶𝘭, 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦 Jon Sholter 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵. #hotels #hotelmanagement #hoteloperations
