I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Marriott on numerous occasions while working in Bethesda, MD with Marriott. I have to say that the foundation of my management style was a direct influence of his impression. Mr. Marriott championed inclusive, people-centric leadership before it was mainstream and molded the tone of the hospitality industry through the principle of learning and growing your business by listening to your people -no matter their position.
