Organizational culture - Ritz-Carlton

The Ritz-Carlton is committed to treating its guests as HRHers of the hotel, drawing on the best institutional cultures in the area of ​​residence, and the staff are referred to as "ladies and gentlemen". The hotel employees carry a card with the hotel logo printed on it that states: “We, ladies and gentlemen, provide the service to women and gentlemen.”

They have trained the employees of the Ritz in very precise standards and specifications to deal with customers. The founders of the company, Caesar Ritz and Auguste Escover, set these standards for more than a century, and Ritz employees are continuing to be trained in the company's traditions and values.

The managers reinforce the company’s values ​​and review service methods in 15-minute “show” sessions every day in every hotel building. These values ​​form the basis for employee training and compensation. Nothing is left to chance when it comes to providing exemplary customer service,

Prospective employees pass tests related to cultural suitability and attributes associated with the innate love of service provision. "The smile should look natural," says one of the company’s managers. Although team members are expected to be highly motivated and highly motivated, their behavior in dealing with inmates is very detailed and written, which is the company's new approach in contrast to what the company has been doing before: No less for employees how to make inmates feel happy. Employees are expected to discover this themselves now. Diana Orrick, Vice President, says, “We have switched from this written guideline approach and moved to results management.” But the result has not changed. The goal is still for the inmate to express his admiration for the service they receive. However, based on the new approach, the interactions of team members with inmates are more natural, calm, and honest, which is better than appearing as lines from a booklet.
answer the questions:

1. What is the prevailing culture at the Ritz-Carlton? In your opinion, why is this type of culture important to a luxury hotel? With a discussion of the weaknesses of such a culture type?
2. What challenges do you think the Ritz-Carlton Hotel faced in changing the organizational culture? With a discussion of what the Ritz-Carlton should do to maintain the new organizational culture?
3. What characteristics of a potential employee do you think will be the happiest and most successful in this culture? In your opinion, how can new employees "learn" this culture?
4. What can other organizations learn from the Ritz-Carlton about the importance of organizational culture?

Evaluate your personal mentoring and coaching strategies and techniques. If you mentored another person or group of people in the future, which strategies and techniques would you continue using? Which strategies/techniques would you start using? Which strategies/techniques would you stop using? Do you think your short-term and long-term goals were achievable?

Building rapport as a leader allows for the leader to develop a deep sense of respect, trust and honesty with their team. These shared understandings ultimately lead to a mutual understanding and allow team members to feel heard and seen. Rapport is in an important factor in developing overall trust within teams. By considering all points of view and listening to understand, leaders increase their effectiveness (Manning 2014, 41). Leaders who focus on gaining their teams trusts, will also be trusted in return. This leads to an ever-growing sense of rapport and positive communication within the team.
Contrastingly, authoritative figures do not value rapport nor trust. There is no rapport because authority figures do not place value on the input of their teams (although they may want/need it) but it is only by force that input is given. Authority figures tend to dictate what happens and when it will happen through demands. Trust and rapport are generally non-existent because there is no team, only authority and subordinate. One-way communication from leader to subordinate does not create an atmosphere of bottom-up communication and ultimately leads to poor rapport.
