The Hotel Industry has *thrived* off the Peter Principle for a century. Time to realize that someone good at one job isn't meant to be great at another, and that's okay. Don't force promotion to irrelevance. Let someone excel at the job they are good at.

I can’t find a good list of hotel management companies so I’m making my own to share on @HotelOperators as an industry resource. Someone helped me start this, but I wanted to open it up to the community....

To succeed in hospitality, you need to focus on operations above all else. It's more important than sales, marketing, design, technology, or revenue management. I learned this through working with tens of thousands of hotels around the world... 🧵👇

New era is about believing in your company. So often I've heard "oh sure I know I could work for that brand, or this luxury concept" but choose a different brand/biz w/ values & goals aligned with their own belief systems. Employees have far more intentionality than historically.

Independents have it even tougher, but those that realized years ago that guest & employee "loyalty = culture" are far better positioned. It really does have to feel like a family to create retention. There needs to be some value to the human to give their life energy to a biz.

When markets are 📉, cash flow is 🔑 The ability to drive 💵 through smart operations is what makes hospitality investments so interesting.
