Leadership Challenges - 40% of new leaders fail within 18 months, indicating a significant challenge in leadership transition and effectiveness [6] - Leaders often mistakenly address strategy problems when the root cause is a leadership issue, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and adaptability [7] - Great leaders often fail by applying a one-size-fits-all approach, emphasizing the need for dynamic leadership that adapts to individual needs and situations [8] Dynamic Leadership Framework - The dynamic leadership framework consists of four approaches: Astronomer (visionary), Coach (relationship-oriented), Captain (sets high standards), and Engineer (hands-on execution) [13][14][22] - The Astronomer inspires with a compelling vision, emphasizing the importance of hope and future orientation in leadership [14][15] - The Coach builds trust through personal connections and feedback, highlighting the significance of one-on-one interactions and active listening [17][18][19] - The Captain sets high standards and ensures accountability, balancing kindness with firmness [20][21] - The Engineer focuses on execution and getting into the details, emphasizing the importance of being on the front lines with the team [22][23] Adaptability and Empathy - Leaders need to adapt their style to meet people where they are, rather than expecting everyone to conform to a single approach [25][26] - Empathy involves seeking to understand others before seeking to be understood, fostering connection and resonance [27][28] - Inconsistency in leadership style, when intentional, can create a deeper respect from team members [29][30] Key Steps to Successful Leadership - Get to know your default leadership style and strengths [32] - Understand what other approaches work well and when to use them [32] - Get to know your people really well [32]

Bosses who are organised and energetic can handle more people than someone who is shambolic and tends to oversleep. But bosses who invest time in coaching their teams will probably want a narrower span than those bosses who don’t https://t.co/X9rrYgPrL2 ...

Hospitality Industry Challenges - The hospitality industry in India is often inward-focused, with leadership roles typically filled by those with extensive industry experience, potentially creating resistance to outside ideas [1][2] - Innovation in the industry tends to be selective, with new designs and culinary concepts being readily adopted, but changes in people management and work practices occurring more slowly [2][3] - The status quo is maintained through inaction and resistance to change, leading to missed warning signs, ignored feedback, and silenced new voices [5][6] - Long working hours and unpredictable schedules in hospitality can negatively impact employee well-being and lead to attrition [8][9] Overcoming Resistance to Change - Moderate dissatisfaction with the status quo can be a catalyst for innovation, but leaders must provide job security and psychological safety [11][12][13][14] - Challenging the status quo requires a strong foundation of facts and research, empathetic listening, and persistence [17][18] - Early wins are crucial for demonstrating the benefits of change and building belief among stakeholders [19][21][22] Impact of Change - Implementing fair overtime pay, despite initial fears, can be achieved through piloting systems and making adjustments [10][11] - Data indicates that overtime costs can be a small percentage (0.1%) of total revenue [20] - Addressing employee concerns and implementing changes can significantly reduce attrition rates, as demonstrated by a property reducing attrition from 55% to 19% [20] Leadership and Future Outlook - Leaders must prepare for the future by rewarding curiosity and creating environments where people feel safe to ask better questions [23][24] - Clinging to the status quo is the slowest form of failure, while challenging it is the fastest way to progress [25]

Ladies and gentlemen, please do welcome on stage Stephanie Martin. When it comes to ticking the diversity box, you could probably say that I am the perfect candidate. I am the daughter of South African immigrant parents, so that's a tick for culture. I'm brown in skin tone, but not too brown. A comfortable shade, you know, just enough to tick the representation box. I'm female. Tick for gender. Western educated. Tick. Speaks English in a western accent. Double tick. So, you see on paper I tick all the right ...

Every year at least two or three of my students come back to me in the month of May with their long faces their IIA projects that they've put months into thinking about and working just didn't work. One of them tried testing the antibacterial effects of garlic oil on E. coli.The bacteria refused to cooperate and another one wanted to test the effect of music on the growth of plants. Unfortunately, the plants seemed unimpressed. And at that point of time, the student is usually panicked.Ma'am, what do I do. ...
