6. Leaders need to lead
by example. Plain and
simple. If you’re an
operations manager or
a general manager in a
hospitality business, your
actions speak way louder
than words while in
service or during an
interview.
7. If you can effectively
communicate the mission and
vision of the business, you can
attract like minded people to
your cause, thus begin closing
the skills gap in your business.
8. Hospitality businesses must
act like their corporate counter
parts and consider people who
have a vested interest in the
business and are more likely to
be engaged in the long term.

today is failure to vocalise the
specific agenda or mission of
the business.
10. In most cases, up-
selling food and
beverage isn’t

employees, while
striving for a Chefs hat
or being sustainable
may be.

communicated to your
entire team, striving for this
achievement brings all your
staff on board for the journey.
13. Altering the direction of the
mission too many times can lead
to confusion, which can lead to
disengagement and high turnover
in middle management.
14. This then impacts service delivery
of your frontline teams, some
of who will leave to follow the
managers they respect.
15. If your leaders live and breathe the
mission and vision of the business, and
effectively communicate that during
recruitment activities and to existing
front line staff, closing the skills gap
becomes a whole lot easier.
16. Why? Because your passionate
leaders not only attract aligned people,
they help to keep them. If you can keep
great talent long term, you can upskill
them and influence the stability of
your workforce. And a strong, aligned
workforce contributes to sustainable
business growth.
