Turn 3Successful TransitionTo EXParticipant Learning GuideDate:_Participant:_Facilitator:_Starwood Cares Leadership University“You have the potential to be a great leader and the Starwood Cares Leadership University is the first step in helping you bee one.” Miguel KoPresidentStarwood Asia PacificThe Starwood Cares Leadership University (SCLU) provides critical leadership development opportunities for all Associates and helps build Starwoods petitive edge in an increasingly demanding marketplace. The SCLU is designed specifically to develop the Starwood Leadership petencies of Associates from all levels, and to maximize their chances of success when they move into new and more plex leadership and managerial roles.“If we really want to have a petitive edge, we cant just have one leader at the top - we need leaders throughout the organization”Tom MonahanThe concept of Leadership or Career Turns is central to the SCLU design. At each Leadership Turn, Associates face significant challenges in mastering the mindset, knowledge and skills required for success in the next turn level. It is therefore important that all Associates are adequately equipped and prepared to navigate their Leadership Turns. This concept of Leadership Turns is based on a groundbreaking study by one of the first and most respected succession planning gurus, Walter R. Mahler, and has been well tested and validated with many global panies in the last decade.For the typical hotel property, there are 4 key Leadership Turns. Associates who want to succeed at the next turn level must be able to develop new skill sets, work values and manage their time differently. Turn 1: From Associate (Individual Contributor) to Supervisor (Managing a Small Team). The work focus will shift from doing ones own functional work to facilitating the work of others. This will require the person to start to use his managerial abilities to interact and spend more time helping the unit members.Turn 2: From Supervisor (Managing a Small Team) to Manager (Managing Supervisors). This turn places increasing demand on the skills associated with managing others like assigning work, coaching and counseling, and measuring the work of others.Turn 3: From Manager (Managing Supervisors) to EX (Managing Functions). This turn requires a significant shift in skills as the person now needs to learn to think strategically, pete for resources, and municate through at least one layer of management.Turn 4: From EX (Managing Functions) to GM (Managing Property). Another significant shift in skills, work values and time usage is required to make this turn successful. Firstly there is the need to make trade-off decisions against the P&L statement (vs. just a cost or revenue budget). This requires a fairly sound understanding of business and financial matters. Also, the challenge of overseeing all the functions, some of which the person may have no experience in managing before, places a high reliance on Functional Heads and EX members and the ability to get them to work together for the good of the overall business.Success at a Leadership Turn will depend on some leadership petencies more than others. Starwood has developed a leadership success profile with 6 factors, each prising 4 petencies. The SCLU is dedicated to create programs dedicated to develop these petencies. About this ProgramThis workshop was developed over 1,400 hours of research and 11 years of application. This module presents the concepts and many valid techniques of leadership useful at the unit, group/team, department, and business group levels. It builds on the Successful Transition to Supervisor and Successful Transition to Manager which covers the basic concepts and skills of management.

Please stick to the times for each ponent of the activity as indicated by the facilitatorHave a great workshop!Introduction to LeadershipLeadership is often defined as, “the process of directing the behavior of others toward the acplishment of some objective.” Although this definition works, is it enough? Leadership is one of the most studied yet least understood of all human qualities. As we shall see, the reason for this will bee clear as we answer the question, “What is leadership?”Why is Leadership Important?During a 9-month study in the 1990s, 945 management practices were evaluated in 580 organizations in the US, Japan, Canada, and Germany in the automotive, banking, puter, and health care industries. The study sought to understand any consistent best practices that lead to consistent higher organizational performance. Organizational performance was defined as: Market performance Operations performance (value-added per employee) Financial performance (REVPAR, GOP, ROA, ROI, etc.)Results: The study found only three universally beneficial practices with a consistent impact on performance regardless of starting position.1. Consistent use of applied Strategic Planning and Deployment 2. Extensive use of Business Process Improvement Methods 3. Use of practices that broaden the breadth and depth of leadership and management practices (a prime example of which would be our Starwood Cares Leadership University)Note: Empowerment was not foundSource: American Quality Foundation (AQF) and Ernst & YoungWhy Are We Here?To provide the information necessary for you to be a successful leader, particularly in your role as an Ex memberTo provide the differences between management and leadershipTo give you the opportunity to work on your leadership skillsTo enable you to view leadership differentlyTo help you succeed in the ever changing role of “leader”Exercise: Which Benefits do you Want?Directions: Below is a list of typical benefits achieved when applying this petency.

Whether a natural leader consciously knows this or not, even natural leaders must follow a “process” to replicate leadership success. However, this is not enough. Effective leaders must have flexibility to adapt to the situation, providing the right kind of leadership for the situation. Just as a hammer is an important tool but not the right tool for all situations, effective leaders must deftly modify their leadership process to provide the right tool set for the situation. All of the leadership techniques and process steps can be easily learned, applied, and mastered with practice and desire!What traits do I have that will help me be an effective leader?2.Only the people at the top of the organization are leadersEffective leadership has little to do with position, and much more to do with approach. Effective leaders can be found anywhere in your property, in Ex, in department teams, in Associates, it does not matter. What matters is the individuals approach to influence, developing passion and inspiring others. Obviously, there often is a connection between organizational position and leadership skills since effective leaders are often promoted, but one does not cause the other.Do you want to provide leadership in your current position? 3.Great Leaders take risksRisk taking and leadership have been synonymous throughout history. It is hard to identify a single, notable leader who cannot be linked with some kind of great risk. Yet, effective leaders like all effective people, take appropriate risks only when warranted, not simply because they are there. Leadership and foolish risk taking are far from the same thing. Leadership is not gambling. Great leaders push the limit only when they have good information, believe it is necessary to create a fundamentally better oute, and find there are no other viable options. Great leaders exhibit wise or prudent risk taking.How much would you risk as a leader?4.I cannot be a leader if others dont report to meThis myth, in some ways, relates to myth number two. One of the enduring qualities of leadership is that an effective leader will attract willing followers. Whether this concerns a new process or procedure at work, a new approach for business development, or action to improve workplace conditions, effective leaders create followers.Are you willing to allow your personal passion and vision to show through and create your own followers?5.All good leaders are charismaticThroughout history, there have been great leaders who are highly charismatic, exhibiting larger than life emotions and gestures. Charismatic leaders inspire through their obvious passion and use of techniques that creates a response from others. These leaders include such mythic figures as Alexander the Great, Hideyoshi Nobunga, Mao Tse Tung, Martin Luther King, and others. Yet, some of the most effective leaders in history, Mahatma Gandhi, Dwight D Eisenhower, Tom Watson, and others rarely raised their voice or used an exaggerated gesture. Their leadership was based not on charisma, but something pletely different. Great leaders certainly can be great showman, but can also be quiet, steady, methodical, and calculating. When it es to leadership, there is no such thing as a behavioral template. Anyone can learn the methods and techniques of leadership. Are you prepared to change your mental model of great leadership in order to learn what really is important to great leadership?6.There is a clear formula for great leadershipOver the years, there have been efforts to distill down the very essence of leadership into the perfect equation of characteristics, trait and behaviors that when applied, produce great leadership and a great leader. The problem is this, because leadership is an inspirational process based on followers, and because the needs and reactions of followers change according to their circumstances, no single formula will ever work for all conditions and in all situations. The effective leader can assess the situation and the needs of followers, vary the message and create the appropriate response necessary to achieve the desired goals. The perfect formula cannot exist, anymore than the perfect formula for happiness or marriage. The key lies in a systems approach, flexibility, and adaptation. Are you willing to challenge yourself to assess, learn, modify, and adjust your approach in order to enhance your personal success?
