The understanding of the managers’ work from a people management perspective is critical for successful hotel operations; nevertheless, it is an under researched area. Based on existing literature and extensive research carried out by the authors over fifteen years, the book explores the different aspects of managerial work in global hotel industry settings and covers core topics such general management, leadership, education and training, skills and competencies, crisis management, and managing diversity. The book’s findings suggest that senior managers (i.e. General Managers and Heads of Department) should adopt a people-centric management and leadership style while at the same time maintain operational efficiency. A unique book in terms of scale and depth, it offers useful insights in both theoretical and practical perspectives.
