General Manager at Per Se

My first Job after Hotel Management School in Germany was in Austria as a Kitchen Server. I picked up a lot of my management style from my mentor there, the Maitre d’hotel, Mr. Ramsebener. He was very old school. He never told you what you had done wrong explicitly, but guided you to discover and correct it yourself. I’ll never forget him telling me one day, “guests don’t like to see leaves on the floor.” I knew there was something behind me that needed to be picked up.

If you want to achieve something, push yourself to the limit.

Reading, reading and reading. Learning should never stop. Challenge yourself by going to classes and getting out of your comfort zone.

If you show respect to everyone around you, they will in turn respect you.
