Bio
Michael Hart
I had the privilege and honor to report directly to Jeff at two four-star and four-diamond resorts, the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme, Michigan, and the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia. Jeff has standards of excellence that point toward his leadership getting the most out of the people that report to him. Simply, he inspects what he expects. My standards are high too, so his style as a professional and as a person is incredibly easy to align with. I saw Jeff treat a proletariat as a bourgeois the exact same - standards are standards. He is an artist. By that, I mean that every guest, employee, stakeholder, or member he comes in contact with, is going to receive a specialized memorable experience for each. His example extracts the potential from each employee he leads. His specialty is anticipatory service, or, making accommodation to a request before it can be verbalized. His ability to drill down deep within financials including forecasts, profit, and loss statements, and income statements, and yet have an innate ability to make his club (or whatever he leads) utilize resources effectively, and yet plan effectively for future capital expenditures is remarkable. His ability to add value and come in well within budget expectations while growing reserves to stay more viable than his competing properties is unprecedented. Guests, employees, stakeholders, investors, members and owners are all equally happy. How does he do this? He is in the business of details! He has fierce loyalty, and constantly improves the work and living environment for his employees, including ensuring that they have housing and that their needs are met. How does he do this? Hire him and find out for yourself. This is the tip of the iceberg! I would go through a wall for him. Call me at your convenience! (989)-859-8554.
