The hotel industry is under pressure: the shortage of skilled workers is worsening, staff turnover remains high and expectations of employers are higher than ever. Vivien Schulter tackles precisely this area of tension with “Positive Leadership saves the hotel industry” – and delivers a long overdue manifesto for a new leadership culture in the industry.
What makes this book so special? It goes far beyond mere theories. Schulter shows that modern leadership is not just about numbers, rosters and hierarchies, but about real human relationships. She makes it clear that appreciation is not just an empty phrase, but a business model. And she backs this up with tangible, immediately implementable strategies that hotel businesses of all sizes can use.

I was particularly impressed by the focus on individual strengths: instead of forcing employees into rigid roles, Schulter advocates recognizing and promoting talent and thus creating long-term relationships. An approach that not only ensures better employee satisfaction, but is also directly reflected in the guest experience.

A game changer for managers in the hotel industry. Anyone who wants to help shape the future of the industry should read this book!

It is more than a cookbook. Kanaan – Cooking without borders is a manifesto for understanding, compassion, and what good food has always been able to do: bring people together. Every day at the Kanaan restaurant in Berlin, Israeli Oz Ben David and Palestinian Jalil Dabit demonstrate that cuisine speaks a universal language – and that where there is cooking, understanding begins.

Las Vegas is known for its long nights, which makes places that do mornings really well all the more important. Between the Strip and downtown, there are a surprising number of spots where breakfast and coffee are not just an afterthought, but are deliberately celebrated. It’s these places that make all the difference: quiet, high-quality, and offering just the right amount of enjoyment before the day gets going.
