Voici comment vous pouvez montrer vos compétences en leadership à vos supérieurs.

Trust your staff. If you are confident you have developed a strong team, pick a team member to take on a leadership task in an upcoming team meeting or roll out ie. the team member can create a presentation and speaking points and share this among the group. Invite your direct supervisor to be present. Having one of your own empowered to teach others/lead will go a long way in speaking to *your* talent as a leader. A good leader can convince others to do difficult things...a great leader can teach others to find their own inner-leader and help the team progress as a whole.

One of the most impactful pieces of advice I ever received came from a wise friend: "The higher up the organizational chart you go, the more talented the people are." This has always resonated with me because I now trust people in higher roles can see talent and greatness. By embodying the values and behaviors you want to see in your team, you inspire and motivate those around you while demonstrating your commitment to the organization’s goals and culture. As the age-old saying goes "actions speak louder than words". When you consistently show up with integrity it doesn’t go unnoticed. Remember, leadership is about inspiration, not authority. When you lead by example, you create a positive ripple effect that elevates everyone around you.

As a bluntly honest person, I try to live by Brene Brown's words on this topic: clear is kind, unclear is unkind. This simple sentence is a phenomenal tip for parenting, personal relationships and most definitely leadership.

In the fast-paced hospitality industry, most decisions can have an immediate impact of the guest. There are no second chances for that first good impression so I usually use a simple 3-step assessment: 1 - is there a safety/security risk or concerns? This should always be a priority, for guests and staff involved. 2 - what timeline do we have to make this decision? Is it for now, hours from now or days from now? 3 - who is impacted and to what capacity? Understanding how many guests or staff are affected by the decision will help you prioritize it. There is no secret or specific formula to making decisions, but these 3 simple steps always help me get clarity so that we can collaboratively make the best decision as a team.

Have a number 2. One of the most important traits of good leadership is the ability to develop people who one day can replace you. Having a number 2 ''ready'' not only shows that you have this trait of a great leader, but also demonstrates your sense of responsibility. It shows that you plan for scenarios when you are not present but your division still runs well. And make sure you expose your number 2 to your superior, as well as the bigger circle of leaders and management in the company, so that when the time for him/her to step up comes, no one sees it as a surprise.
