Founder | Company You Keep Hospitality

Advice from Graceanne Jordan

Quotes about career path, skills, and teamwork from an industry leader.
Hire People not Positions.
I interview constantly. I find a good egg and then I figure out where they will be happy.
In my first month of management at Gramercy Tavern, Tom said, "Make a decision.
We can fix anything. Just don’t burn the place down."
There are always going to be challenging times in our careers.
I know who to go to when I need gas to fill my tank. Identify that person and keep them close.
When starting a new job, set realistic schedule expectations.
If 9am is the start time and you consistently arrive at 8am, the one day you arrive at 9am, you’re late!
