The hospitality industry has survived crises before. Both 9/11 and the Great Recession took their tolls, but the industry rebounded in part by getting creative. And while our current global pandemic is the toughest challenge the industry has ever faced, it’s important to remember that disruption can also lead to opportunity.
Those of us working in hospitality can’t shape the course of COVID-19, but we can control our grit and our attitude. History has proven that in times of crisis, current leaders are tested and new leaders emerge. How will you respond to the industry’s challenges? What can you do right now to weather the storm, and how can you best position yourself for the hospitality jobs that are likely to emerge when the pandemic is over?
