Personal philosophy: core beliefs and principles
As a humanist, I believe in free agency so I can't argue that all hospitality managers should have the same philosophy. With my existentialist leanings, I believe in each person creating their own meaning and realities—all the while striving to be authentic in all their relationships. Both of the philosophical platforms that I embrace encourage a strong degree of freedom and personal responsibility. As an industry, hospitality offers a unique perspective of people's lives—separated from their quotidian affairs and concerns. When people travel or seek entertainment outside of their home, they are vulnerable to many elements that under more typical circumstances would not influence them. It does seem that any hospitality manager can contribute positively to the experiences of these people, regardless of their philosophical orientation—or, perhaps, because of it.
