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.

An approach that not only ensures better employee satisfaction, but is also directly reflected in the guest experience.
