Great info from an ‘’insider’’. I expected a bit more visuals in this book considering that it’s about finance and revenue. In many chapters he’s trying to explain results that can be easily shown through a picture.

I have added TPH to the reading list for my Hospitality Business Policy course. I really like the short to the point chapters and the flow of ideas and concepts. The three pillars works very well alongside the simulation exercise I use in class. Very approachable delivery and disarming style makes the read painless. A must for those looking to compete for promotion or improve their leadership breadth and depth.
