Housekeeping Management
by Matt A. Casado

As downsizing practices in the hospitality industry usher in leaner management and fewer operational levels, the role of the executive housekeeper is undergoing a dramatic change. Today, the ideal executive housekeeper must be prepared to be a first-line manager - capable of running a housekeeping department with little or no intervention from upper management.

Housekeeping Management offers future industry professionals the tools they need to be competitive in this new era - the skills to manage resources, administer assets and manage all of the technical operations of a busy housekeeping department. Using case studies culled from the author's extensive experience in the hospitality industry, it demonstrates clearly how theoretical concepts apply to real-life situations. Illustrated with numerous photos and charts.

This book is an invaluable resource to help tomorrow's executive housekeepers acquire proficiency in management and administration they'll need to succeed in the hospitality industry.

Semper Fi
Business Leadership the Marine Corps Way
by Dan Carrison and Rod Walsh
P 1,785.00

TThe U.S. Marine Corp doesn't create an elite force simply by barking orders at underlings or demanding grueling rounds of laps. Rather, the Corps is the master of in-depth training, non-stop motivating and world-class leadership.

Semper Fidelis - means "always faithful" - is both the motto of the USMC and the inspiration for this book's unique approach to corporate leadership. Written by two former Marines who are now successful businessmen, Semper Fi goes behind the scenes to pinpoint what works for the USMC. It then applies those strategies to the competitive world of business, showing you how to create a training and management culture that brings out the best in all your employees.

For all the difference between armed services and the profit-driver corporation, they share a key goal: to create a high-performance organization filled with committed, motivated leaders, all the way through the ranks. This book is an evocative and ingenious guide for making that goal a reality.
