Lessons in Leadership I was left searching for the positives after missing one of my flights this week. Blaming Kasha Ströh for our chance catch-up; or the steadfast airline staff for their unwillingness to make concessions for me, crossed my mind but wouldn’t be fair. I was thoroughly enjoying our catch-up; and They’re just doing their job - a frenetic, fast-pace, high-pressure environment - dealing with excited, anxious, entitled travellers. I only had myself to blame. Standing at the check-in (again), after being waitlisted, I found myself with some time to kill. An article on the front page of the local press caught my eye. Our Siya Kolisi, ‘Captain Fantastic’, has been included in the TIME Magazine 100 most influential people of 2024. A befitting honour. Reflecting on leadership, in the moment, Thabang from FlySafair swept in. A gentleman - kind, patient and helpful. As disappointed as I was with myself Thabang reminded me - we all human, we all make mistakes. And really the consequences of this one, negligible. Be kind to myself. Thabang and his team sent me off on the next available flight. Leading from the front, on-the-ground. An exemplary representative of FlySafair. LESSON #1 Being kind to others is natural for me, being kind to myself, less so. LESSON #2 Leadership isn’t exclusive to Presidents, CEOs, Principals and Team Captains. We all have the capacity and opportunities to lead, regardless of titles. Have a happy weekend 🤗 *Shout-out to the team from The Capital Hotels, Apartments & Resorts Mirage, Cape Town. My stay at the hotel was an exceptional experience. Nomfundi and the team, there as well, leading from the front.

I’m a big fan of The Peninsula Hotels and have had the pleasure of knowing many of its general managers. It was so nice to catch up with some of them at ILTM Cannes last year. We were all staying at the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes and they were at the next table at breakfast every morning. I also dropped by their booth for the champagne after-conference cocktails and most recently I spent absolutely perfect days at the The Peninsula Istanbul with GM Jonathan Crook and his hardworking team, and we are planning to bring my magazine readers to this truly beautiful hotel in the fall. Peter Borer is of course legendary in the industry and so beloved by the hotel owners that they’ve named restaurants and hotel dishes after him. Meanwhile Arthur Kiong has written a lovely tribute addressing Peter’s professionalism and unwavering commitment to constantly elevating the guest experience. He has also addressed the huge elephant in the room within the hospitality industry. To quote him: “The customer is not always right. In some cases they can be outright wrong.” Unfortunately the rise of online activity among both businesses and their guests mean that hotel guests have discovered a powerful tool for getting what they want from a hospitality firm, whether they are in the right or not in requesting these. The possibility of receiving a damning hotel review has taken many businesses hostage as it is of course easier to prevent negative remarks on social media than to undo or justify these. However, yes, the customer is not always right and we too have experienced cases wherein guests have made great demands for unwarranted expectations to be fulfilled. We are in the business to please, though, so our team does try its best and goes beyond what is required to make guests happy. Nothing pleases our team more than guests waving goodbye with smiles on their faces. But, like Peter Bohrer, we truly do our best to solve the situation but do stand our ground when we feel we have done our best and the customer has unreasonable requests or simply wishes to over-maximize the price they have paid for their room. This does not happen often, but we do see a trend when guests who do not fit our main target market profile check-in. When the solution is within our reach, our managers our authorized to make decisions to solve it. When guests make unreasonable demands we do refuse to comply and we expect the threatened negative review. Peter Bohrer’s management philosophy is an inspiration to all and Arthur Kiong’s post is such a refreshing read. I sent it to my entire team yesterday as a way forward. #thankyou #inspiration #managementstyle #lifelessons #luxuryhotels #luxuryhotel
