In my role as C.O.O. at Strand Hospitality Services, I focus on the concepts of leadership vs. management to ensure we surround ourselves with the best talent possible. I was introduced to this concept early in my career as I had a couple great mentors along the way. In today's rapidly changing business environment, we must surround ourselves with people that are or can be leaders. The Leadership Philosophy of the 3 P's state: Passion, Purpose and People. To be a great leader, you need to know your "why."​ To give life to your ideas, you need the support and shared passion of your team. To inspire people, you need to spark movements, not just produce a well-designed product backed by a creative marketing campaign. Only then you will ignite and excite people in unimaginable ways.My favorite quote on leadership came from Ronald Reagan..."The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things." Ronald Reagan
