When you look at the attached photo, think about this: Fire stations that have fire fighters who eat together outperform fire fighters who don't eat together. Let's not forget that in this age of The Fragmented Zoomathon. A table where people break bread together has long been transformational. The reason the nation's capitol is in Washington D.C. is because of a compromise made over dinner at Thomas Jefferson's table. The modern Olympics came into fruition through a series of backchannel meals. Conversations between Sergey Brin and Larry Page in Stanford's dining halls led to the creation of Google. Everybody understands the power of a transformational table. The dinner in the accompanying photo was hosted by Frank Congiu on behalf of Randstad, a premier recruiting and staffing agency. The Chief Human Resources Officers of some of the most influential companies in America are at the table. You can tell that I have never worked in a human resources department because I'm the only person at the table wearing a red fedora. I was very appreciative of Frank's inclusion. You can see him smiling two people up the table from me. Across from him is Chester Elton, author of Leading with Gratitude: Eight Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Business Results. It was Chester who told us about the research on fire stations. If not for the dinner, I never would've become friendly with Chester. He has a lot more to say about people coming together to do their best work on my podcast this week. If you'd like to hear it, there's a link to Big Questions in the comments. Listen, and you, too, will be connected to a transformational evening. Something else happened that night which could never have happened anywhere else at just that time. As the guests trickled into the dining room in downtown New York, I met Sofia Lamuraglia, the Director of Leadership at IBM. Our conversation was a hello. It had no agenda. But I learned that she is from South America, and she told me about a moment when she connected with New York City through the sight of the Empire State Building. It made me see Manhattan in a way that I'd never seen it before, and I've walked almost every one of its streets. It also helped answer a question I'd been scratching my head over for more than 30 years. I doubt that kind of serendipity ever happened in a Fragmented Zoomathon. If it has, please let me know. If not, you might want to find some serendipity over dinner. Cheers!

Today's luncheon was yet another occasion marked by stimulating conversation. The subject of time was discussed. Time truly is our most precious and equitable resource. Whether we're soaring at 30,000 feet or working at our desks, time marches on, and the clock doesn't stop ticking. It's a currency we all possess in equal measure. Are we recognising and remunerating our teams for their time investment? After all, every minute dedicated to our organisations is a minute of their lives given to our shared vision. When I was asked today about what is important to me as the founder of Hospitality Impact Consulting, I emphasised that, apart from relationships and quality, the essence of time and honouring this is crucial. I've always believed that acknowledging team members' efforts is about respect. It's not just about the tangible outcomes, but the time, energy, and dedication poured into every deliverable. How do you value time in your organisation? Are we doing enough to show teams that their time investment is truly appreciated, be it a thank you or a monetary reward? In today's business environment, it's easy to overlook the importance of recognising the time commitment of our teams. However, it's essential to remember that their contribution is not merely a function of their skills and knowledge but also their willingness to invest their most valuable asset: time. Perhaps it is worth taking a moment to reflect on how we can better honour and reward our teams for their time. Whether through meaningful recognition, professional development opportunities, or financial incentives, ensuring that our appreciation is visible and impactful. This sense of fairness on how time is recognised will have a domino effect because individuals will contribute more, knowing that their time is honoured and respected. #time #hospitality #leadership #entrepreneurship
