The million-dollar question for wellness leaders: How can I get my GM to GET ME?
This is a question I get asked often. And many wellness leaders might not think it out loud, but deep down, this is something they truly desire. That their GM GETS them, that their GM gets wellness.
Now, let’s now kid ourselves. We all want to be, or at least feel understood. It allows us to feel appreciated and recognised – particularly in times when things are not going the way we expect them to go. It’s as if, if they, our GM, understands how difficult the wellness business is and gets us, then we’re safe. We feel someone has our back.
Which is a fair point.
However, in today’s episode, I wanted to offer a different perspective. It’s all great if our GM gets us. But, the reality is that the only we get other people to get us is by GETTING them first.
The age-old saying of: “Seek to understand, then seek to be understood.”
So, the question then is, how can you GET your GM?
In today’s episode, I’d like to share a clip of a LinkedIn Live session where I turn the tables and talk about how you, as the wellness leader, can GET your GM. I talk about what mistakes we’re making as a wellness leader and what we can do and focus on so that we understand our GM’s perspective. And that boils down to understanding how wellness impacts the overall hotel’s P&L.
