Posted on March 20, 2013February 21, 2019 by HPG Advisory

Today’s business leaders are seemingly battling with multiple decisions all at the same time. Leaders are managing ‘Generation Y’ as they enter the workforce, digital technologies requiring a business to be working 24/7, as well as trying to comprehend macro-economic conditions, to name but a few.

This altering world means leaders need to be prepared and multifaceted, and it doesn’t seem like the role of CEO, Chairman and Managing Director are going to get any easier. In this briefing we hear from leaders as well as hospitality experts on the changing dynamic they are seeing. Including:

Richard Branson on keeping tabs on everything and everyone.

Debrah Dhugga, General Manager of Dukes Hotel on preparing new leaders.

Peter Malone, Managing Director of Madison Mayfair on the multi-dimensional aspect of leaders

Briefing: the modern-day leader

Posted on October 24, 2012February 21, 2019 by HPG Advisory

Any leader of an organisation has to command with confidence and assertiveness. To pursue a company’s vision, mission and values. The most successful leaders become synonymous with their brand. Richard Branson is a fantastic example of a charismatic leader who fills his staff with the belief needed to fulfill the ambitions of the Virgin empire.

What can the hospitality leaders of today learn and how will they ensure the successful stewardship of their respective businesses?

In this week’s briefing we hear from industry experts, including:

Richard Branson on one of the reasons he has become so successful.

Peter Malone, Managing Director of Madison Mayfair, on the multidimensional personality leaders must now have.

Sir Nigel Knowles, co-CEO of DLA Piper, on leaders of today becoming closely associated with their brands and organisations.

And Debrah Dhugga, General Manager of Dukes Hotel, on preparing a new generation of hospitality leaders.

The imminent arrival of the Olympics in London is getting closer and closer, 15 days in fact! But what impact will the Olympics have on the UK and the continuing developments in hospitality.

Peter Malone, Managing Director of Madison Mayfair on how he believes that the initial positive impact will have little longer term effect.

Debrah Dhugga, Managing Director of Dukes Hotel on the plans needed for 2013 in London.

Joe Stenson, Director of Hotels for Queensway Group on the real impact from the Games being seen in 6 months time

And Colin Stanbridge, Chief Executive of the London Chamber of Commerce on what opportunity there is for the future of London after being in the spotlight.
