LABARINA - YOU'RE FIRED

 LABARINA 

A few years ago, I met Don Stephenson, the chairman of Global Hospitality Resources Inc. of San Diego, California(an international hospitality advisory and consulting firm). Over lunch, I asked him about his organization... 

Today, he primarily does consulting, but back then his company took over the management of hotels and resorts that weren’t doing well financially. They oversaw many excellent facilities such as La Costa in

southern California.

Don said that whenever they came into an organization to take it over, they always started by doing two things:

First, they trained all the staff to improve their level of service to the customers, and secondly, they fired the leader.

When he told me that, I was at first surprised.

“You always fire him?” I asked. “Every time?”

“That’s right. Every time,” he said.

“Don’t you talk to the person first— to check him out to see if he’s a good leader?” I said.

“No,” he answered. “If he’d been a good leader, the organization wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in.”

👆This, and another(which I might share later) story that I read today really affected me both positively and negatively.
