This, as I've come to discover gradually over the course of years -- working with her and observing the quiet and quietly moving way she brings out the best in others -- is her true secret: doing every job side-by-side with every colleague, coworker, and employee, never expecting anyone to do anything she wouldn't do herself, always showing, never telling -- in short, leading by example and not by command. I've seen firsthand the pure power of her ideas which is really one idea -- I've lived it, as she lives it: Hospitality is not an industry. It's how you treat others, all the time. Or, as this book so perfectly puts it, hospitality is a way of life.-- Greg Raymor, United Airlines, COHAll I can say is Wow! You can really write!
