Florian shares his "Blue Ocean" strategy for hospitality training: stop hunting for experience and start hiring for attitude.

In this episode, you will learn:The "Hire for Attitude" Strategy: Why technical experience can sometimes be "baggage" and how to spot the right personality for your brand. The "Jedi" Training Model: How to empower your staff to train their future peers, creating immediate trust and accountability. Fixing "Day One": Why the first 24 hours determine if a new hire stays or leaves, and how to treat it like "meeting the in-laws."
