It’s not limited to just hotels and restaurants.Southern hospitality is a big influence for the meaning of hospitality as it provides people with a sense of feeling welcomed and at home.You want to make others feel like you are working together, especially with clients. You want them to feel like it’s a collaborative effort.As a leader, it is your responsibility to teach others and have them reach their highest points so that they can become a leader themselves and continue the cycle.Putting others first is a key trait in this industry. You want to make sure there is space to grow for others and have their ideas heard.A lot of people have left the hospitality industry during the pandemic, and now with things returning to normal there is a staffing shortage and it makes it more complicated to work on a project.Quote of the Show:16:35 “It's the soul and the spirit of how we welcome people in. It doesn't have to be a hotel. It doesn't have to be a restaurant. it's really about how you welcome someone in and what are those delights that you want them to receive?”Links:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DLRGroupLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/staci-patton-107bb726/Website: https://www.dlrgroup.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/staci_patton_sp/Shout Outs:5:56 Joe Chikora8:28 Ed Williams9:07 Concord Hospitality30:26 Hilton Hotels33:06 Sherman Associates42:37 Joanna Abrams42:38 MindclickWays to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419Podbean: https://www.defininghospitality.live/Youtube: https://youtu.be/jwXFEb93iGM
