The ‘Leadership Delta’: How challenging the norm is helping the hospitality industry to train exceptional leaders

What do we mean by the ‘Leadership Delta’?

It’s a vast gap in knowledge and capability that is exposed when individual contributors are promoted into senior roles where they have responsibility for overseeing multiple areas of the business. One of the reasons this happens is because many of those leading teams within the sector are promoted because they are great at their ‘day job’ - they are amazing baristas, superstar bartenders or fantastic store assistants, but now they find themselves with a new set of expectations and responsibilities. The step up is a giant skills leap.

With so much responsibility at the hands of these leaders, we are challenging the industry to look at how leaders are trained within the sector and asking the big question: Are you challenging training tradition to develop exceptional leaders and beat the leadership delta?

With a global outlook, the insight paper identifies three key leadership ‘deltas’:
