Give Hospitality July 22, 2025 By Taylor Scott GIVE Leadership 

At its core, leadership is:

To inspire and motivate others to become the best versions of themselves, do their best work, and deliver desired results for their team.

“Great leadership inspires and motivates the right behaviors, at the right times, for the right purpose, to achieve agreed upon objectives.”

Consider your favorite hospitality experience or hospitality brand.  Think for a moment about your favorite vacation destination or your favorite hotels, restaurants, bars, airlines, or cruise lines.

Why do you love them?

What makes them great?

How do they inspire you?

Great hospitality experiences have a way of sparking emotional connections in our hearts and minds.  We can all agree that those very emotional connections are what inspire us and motivate us to return to our favorite hotels, restaurants, airlines, or cruise lines.  

It’s less about what they do, but all about how they make us feel which shape behavior and drive our decisions to return, spend more money, and especially to share stories about our experiences.  

Dynamic Leadership = Gracious Hospitality

Leadership is our ability to influence, inspire, or motivate people to become their best, do their best work, and ultimately deliver their best.  At its core, being a great leader is the ability to move people to move.  

And if we know that what ultimately moves people to move and the thing that propels them into action is EMOTION and FEELING, then it’s safe to say that before we’re able to influence or inspire people to do anything, we first must make sure they FEEL – welcome, comfortable, and important.  

“We love our favorite leaders for the same reasons we love our favorite hospitality destinations.  It’s because of how they make us feel.  

Our favorite restaurants, hotels, airlines, cruise lines, and our vacation destinations make us feel welcome, comfortable, and important.  

And so, do our favorite leaders.”
