Conversation with Sally Beck - General Manager of the Royal Lancaster London
“Running a good culture brings definite profits to the bottom line.”- Sally Beck, General Manager, the Royal Lancaster London
It was a great pleasure to speak with Sally Beck, the General Manager of the Royal Lancaster London, who led her team through a multiyear renovation while open and their rise from #272 to #17 (and now up to #15 as I write this) on Tripadvisor out of 1,154 hotels in London.
During our conversation, Sally shares inspiration concepts for hospitality leaders:
- Why she does not believe in SOPs for guest engagement.
- Techniques she uses to empower her team.
- How she uses an inverted pyramid management philosophy
- How she runs meeting in a way inspired by the book, Time to Think by Nancy Kline.
- Her hiring process and much more
- The cost savings in staff turnover enjoyed when you create a positive culture
A few of my favorite quotes from Sally Beck:
“Investing in Tripadvisor, understanding, and looking at those comments, it is your best advertising tool.”
" …it just generates good feelings and the guests genuinely feel it.”
“We’ve noticed the further we have gone up (on Tripadvisor)…generally our rates have gone with it.”
I hope you will find this episode with Sally Beck as inspiring as I did. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and share ways you inspire your team to deliver 5-Star experiences where you work.
