“Essential skills that managers in the hospitality industry should have are operational and financial knowledge also should have interpersonal skills. Be an inspirational figure to others, motivate them to do their work, and encourage them when they doubt their capabilities. Additionally, Managers should be able to make a detail-orientated decision even if it is not popular or supported by the general staff members. Above all, a leader needs to be there for staff members, any time they require assistance, to help them feel safe and secure. Teamwork is crucial to the success of a resort. Starting a new journey, the first thing to do is build an environment where teamwork is encouraged and supported. Moreover, helping the staff to be more passionate about their jobs, increase their team spirit, and motivate them to do their best in all aspects of the job. It is important to know that, no matter how small, a change will always have a huge impact on the image of the business and the services provided, and without a team, it will be really challenging and difficult to continue moving forward”, Hamdhoon explained his viewpoint.
