The modern GM balances people and performance—tradition and innovation. 👉 What do you think is the #1 skill for today’s GM? #Hospitality #Leadership #Hotels
1️⃣ Be hands-on – not stuck in the office. 2️⃣ Empower your team – collaboration builds ownership. 3️⃣ Create experiences – beyond the hotel walls. 4️⃣ Lead with empathy – service is about people. 5️⃣ Embrace tech – use tools that improve operations.
The role of a GM in luxury hospitality has changed. Guests have higher expectations, owners want performance, and teams look for real leadership.
