HVS Executive Search is about to launch The Power of Advice, a short film in which 20 hospitality leaders discuss the importance of giving and receiving advice and the role advice has played in their careers...

"Advice is a part of what you get from people – it's part of the food that feeds you. Without it, you're alone."
Michael A Leven
President & COO, Las Vegas Sands

"There's nothing wrong with taking advice from a fashion designer, a banker, a journalist and a horse trainer. It's important you listen to those different perspectives as they all give you different insights."
Stephen Alden
CEO, Maybourne Hotel Group

"My greatest mentor has been Isadore Sharp, the founder of Four Seasons. He continually reminds me I should focus on being myself and not changing just because the world is trying to change me."
Kathleen Taylor, president & CEO, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts

"One of the most important things to being successful is to understand what you don't know and understand where to go to fill that in. I think that someone who insists on doing it on their own and not being open to advice is going to ultimately be a failure."
Eric Danziger, president & CEO, Wyndham Hotel Group

The Power of Advice will get its inaugural viewing on 3 April 2012 at the Hotel Investment Conference South Asia (HICSA) in Mumbai. We will send you further details.
