A Hotelier’s Mind – setting strategy for the future
There are many publications and articles that are published these days on
what a Hotel General Manager or Operator should and should not do in
order to have a successful business. My goal with this book is to share my
firsthand experience and the insights I have gained in a way that will make
the take-aways easy to make sense out of and implement.

I have passion to protect and educate those who put their heart and soul
into running their hotel, whether they own it, manage it or work in it. I
want people who read the pages to understand that, we are all in the people
business whether that be our employees, our suppliers, our owners and of
course our customers and guests. Let’s create strong cultures – let’s make
our workplaces a place to enjoy – let’s deliver the best possible customer
experience that we can!
I have been fortunate to meet some great people in this industry and as
part of the sharing philosophy that this book is based upon, I am sharing
some of my favourite published articles and interviews which I hope will
bring the insights more to life for the reader.
Whether you are an Operator, a Manager, a Restaurant Manager or
someone aspiring to work in a hotel one day, I hope you will not only
enjoy reading this book but it is my goal that there will be some insights
that I have shared which will help you to deliver a better experience for
your customer whether that be internal or external! It is fine to have a
strategy but when it is all said and done it all comes down to the final guest
experience – whether that be internal or external.
