Finding Better Talent with Steve Trover

from Slick Talk: The Hospitality Podcast · host Skift

After thirty years of forming and growing many different businesses, Steve has now come to the conclusion that his successes and failures hinged on the same thing. Identifying, hiring, and engaging people. When they were with the right people in the right roles, fully engaged, they were extremely successful. When they were not, no strategic plan or amazing vision mattered. They simply could not execute to the level required. It was a true honor to record this episode in person with Steve at the VRMA Conference back in October!
