19. Empowering Your Staff, Boosting Motivation, and The Importance of Empathy – A Recap of 18 Great Episodes

This episode of That Bad Review is a bit of a departure from previous episodes. My very special guest is, well, yours truly. This time I’m taking a look back at the journey that we’ve been on over the past 18 episodes of the podcast, looking back on the great information and insights I’ve gained and I hope you have too.

In some ways, this episode is a bit of a recap, and also a bit of a cheat sheet to some of the key points and important topics we’ve covered. If you’re a first time listener, you’ll get some real, actionable advice to help improve your business. If you’re a regular, it’s a good bit of reflection and reinforcement. Enjoy.

Here’s some of what I reflect on in this episode:

  •      Keeping staff motivated (and your guests happy)
  •      Empowering your team
  •      Developing core values for your business
  •      The importance of empathy
  •      Self analysis and feedback loops
  •      Staffing to your strengths and weaknesses
  •      Award submissions as a way of bettering your business
  •      Preparing a time budget
  •      The value of mid-stay surveys
