In Iqbal Ahmed’s tribute to Arne Sorensen, something stood out to me:
Due to the pandemic, I had lost my own job in a London Marriott hotel a few months previously and Arne had sent me a very sympathetic message saying how disappointed he was to hear about it and asking me how he could help in my search for a new role.
That’s leadership in this industry: showing a spirit of hospitality to the people you work with. That’s what people remember.
