Don't over think it - keep it simple! Proper planning and preparation will make the big projects easier to accomplish! #LCAM #southflorida #propertymanagement #budgetseason

Engagement starts with making people feel valued and heard—it’s about trust, transparency, and acting on feedback. For me, it’s not just a strategy; it’s the foundation of a thriving culture and a successful business. When people know they matter, they show up with purpose—and that’s what drives real results. #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture

Future You - Episode 103: Don't rely on standby. The message is - Unplug. 🔌 Wait!!! before you unplu-… Please standby - we are processing this suggestion for you. Hmmm… …Still processing… Waiting… to rely on … standby. Sigh. 😔 technical difficulties - please standby https://lnkd.in/ewh5pwfb ‘Click’ If ‘standby’ is not reliable, we need someone who is - who else to call other than: Unplug-it man! 🦸‍♂️ -And his ‘sometimes reliable’ sidekick - Standby boy. ‘Click’ 👉 To help you ‘Don't rely on standby,’ here’s a simple 2-step process: https://lnkd.in/e4Fzbkmz 1️⃣ Take a stand, by… 2️⃣ Not relying on bystanders Your Future You didn’t get to where he/she is by relying on standing-by or being a bystander. Take a stand and take charge by unplugging (when possible) and your Future You will be gifted all your forward progress following what you believe in. Even if you believe in make-believe superheroes. ‘Click’ 📌 P.S. It’s been reported that Corporate Housing Companies ‘Don’t rely on standby’ by unplugging electronics when a property is vacant. Which is better than following our guests around their furnished monthly rentals and unplugging every electronic device as soon as they were done using them. Let’s just stick with asking our guests to be more mindful of electronic drain. If that doesn’t work, look!—- up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Unplug it Man! … to the rescue (while standby boy loiters nearby). 📌📌 P.P.S. - ‘standby’ is a form of electronic loitering. 📌📌 📌 P.P.P.S. - ‘Standby’ may be unreliable, but Corporate Housing companies… wait for it (woo boy) here it comes - We BE reliable!

ShortStaf is here to help those impacted by the two massive hurricanes, Helene and Milton, that have so severely impacted Florida, Georgia and the Carolina’s! So many hospitality business have been impacted, most facing a long recovery to reopening. Yet many businesses in the surrounding areas are back up and open serving first responders, lineman, and their local communities. If you’re back up and running and have even a few shift openings, please consider posting a shift that would allow a displaced hospitality worker the opportunity to pick up those shifts. This will not only help put some immediate much needed money in their pocket during this long and expensive recovery, it will give them the flexibility to pick and chose shifts that fit their schedules. Together we can help each other through this very difficult time. https://lnkd.in/eJQPeYEZ

54% of leaders cite system transitions as their biggest challenge. But true transformation isn't about technology—it's about people. Forward-thinking hospitality leaders know optimizing operations isn't about quick fixes—it's about building data-driven cultures that spot hidden value and drive sustainable growth. #BusinessInnovation #IndustryGrowth #DigitalTransformation
