Jonathan Little shared thisJonathan Little shared thisYour employees will remember for a long time how they were treated during this crisis. Nothing drives employee loyalty and engagement more than knowing “my boss cares about me as a human being”. The way leadership communicates or doesn’t communicate will have an impact on loyalty and can lead to loss of talent. https://lnkd.in/dSuznn8

Jonathan Little reacted on thisI'm incredibly honoured to be featured in Hilton Sheroes. Looking back on my journey, I'm grateful for every opportunity, every challenge, and especially for the amazing people I've had the privilege to work alongside. Hospitality has always been about creating memorable experiences, but it's the people behind those experiences who inspire me every single day. Here's to staying curious, leading by example, and never stopping learning. 💙 #HiltonSheroes #TeamHilton #Leadership #Hospitality #GratefulJonathan Little reacted on thisIn our latest Hilton Sheroes episode, we’re spotlighting the incredible Mehrsa Ghadiri, Director of Food & Drink at Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam. Hospitality has always been part of Mehrsa’s story. From helping her stepfather at their bed and breakfast at a young age, she discovered a passion for creating memorable guest experiences that would shape her career. Today, her greatest inspiration comes from the people around her. Seeing her team grow, succeed and earn well-deserved recognition is what motivates her every day. Her advice for anyone building a career? Stay curious, work hard, and never let a job title stop you from rolling up your sleeves. Great leadership is about leading by example. And when it comes to the secret behind her success, it’s simple: stay humble, stay curious, and never stop learning.

Jonathan Little liked thisJonathan Little liked thisHotel life isn't always easy, but moments like these are what makes it enjoyable and special !! You know you're making an impact when you walk into an outlet that's guest-ready without having to ask. Every label in place, every cooler organized, every space clean, fresh, and welcoming..especially after a busy previous night. Leadership isn't about telling people what to do; it's about inspiring them to care. Pretty sure we've all heard this before... but it hits different when you actually feel it. 🥹 So proud of my F&B team at AC Hotel & Moxy Midtown Atlanta. In just a few short weeks, I've watched this team come together with one goal: making our hotel better every single day. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and for caring about the little things every single day. 💕 #ACHotelMidtownAtlanta #MoxyHotelMidtownAtlanta #HighNoteATL #GoodVibesHigherViews #NoFilters 😙😛

Jonathan Little liked thisJonathan Little liked thisEnded my 4th week at Knollwood Lifeplan Community hosting my first big event for the residents. The magnificent historic home on the property was begging to come alive as a speakeasy. The residents really came out and danced and had a great time. The Seth Kibel jazz trio was spectacular. Chef Geoff and team did an amazing job with the food. I was proud the interdisciplinary team from all departments came together. The leadership team showed up and played the part. Looking forward to building more experiences together with this amazing community.
