Leadership Training Comes To EF!

The Washington Hospitality Association Education Foundation in collaboration with Dancing Shepherd leadership development services is piloting a new program designed to develop exceptional leadership skills and core competencies for current and emergent high-potential leadership talent in the hospitality industry.

The need for effective leadership has never been more important:

  • 58% of association members say developing leadership talent is critical to their success (2018 WA Hospitality Assn Membership Survey).
  • 65% of employees say that having a better boss was better than getting a pay raise (Forbes).
  • Highly engaged employees rank 10% higher on customer ratings, 22% in profitability, and 21% in productivity (The Gallup Organization).

 

Great Leaders Inspire Great Teams!

Well-led organizations have significantly lower absenteeism and turnover, higher levels of product and service quality, and financially outperform their counterparts by as much as 3 to 1 (Watson/Wyatt).

Frontline leaders are the primary standard-bearers of performance expectations and accountability and are the most influential translators of culture and results for your teams.
