Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The leadership book for hospitality supervisors, team leaders, and floor managers who were handed a team before anyone taught them how to lead one.It is a Tuesday. An agent is close to tears, a guest is angry, the system has frozen, and you have about four seconds to decide who you are going to be. That is where the real work of this industry happens. Not in the strategy meeting. On the floor, in the small moments no report ever records.Drawing on three decades leading luxury hotels and regional operations across the United States, Hong Kong, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, Franck Sibille makes one unsentimental case: how you lead day to day decides whether people stay or quietly check out. Not the big policies. The tone in a briefing. The way you handle a mistake. Whether you noticed.Care has nothing to do with being soft. It means leading so people grow, and showing them you see it. And it names what the industry gets wrong almost everywhere: this work builds real skills in people, reading a room, recovering before the guest notices, staying calm when no one else is, and we wave it all away with one word. Natural. Learning to name the real thing instead is one of the most powerful moves a leader can make.Across fifteen short, practical chapters, you will learn how to: - Understand why good people really leave, and the question no exit form captures- Coach a person instead of correcting a mistake, so you build skill instead of fear- Run the skill-or-will check before you ever reach for a warning- Use presence to actually see your team, not just inspect them- Build the consistency a team learns to trust- Give recognition that names a real skill instead of a hollow "good job"- Make the first 72 hours tell a new hire they belong- Protect your own energy, because you cannot coach or listen on emptyYou do not need a new title for any of this. You do not need a budget. You need presence, attention, and the willingness to say the specific thing instead of the vague one. The book closes with a 30-Day Leadership Challenge: one small shift a day toward a steadier, kinder, more honest place to work.Ideal for: hotel and restaurant supervisors, duty managers, front office and food and beverage leaders, housekeeping and kitchen team leads, new managers in hospitality, and anyone building a culture that keeps good people.This edition brings the argument of Sibille's After the Office: When Intelligence Became Cheap down to the floor: as intelligence becomes cheap and abundant, the advantage shifts to the human skills that cannot be automated, and those skills are built one shift at a time.The shift does not start with HR, or corporate, or next year's plan. It starts with you. And it starts today. From the floor up.
