❓ Did you know? ❓ I was a 20-something year old revenue manager during the 2008 financial crisis and at the time, Mit Shah was my CEO. The way that Mit and the leadership team handled communication with the company by "being out front" is something I never forgot. "When crisis ensues, you have to remember, when you're responsible for others, that they need to hear from you." - Mit Shah #MitShah #NobleInvestmentGroup #SloanDean

Sometimes, reaching your goal means taking a pay cut and "starting over" and we're here to tell you that there's nothing wrong with that. In my episode with Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels and 1 Hotels, he talks about the difficult decision he had to make in pursuit of his goal to become a Hotel General Manager.
