Having worked on both sides of the hospitality management/leadership - ownership coin, Chase knows what it takes to succeed — and the pitfalls and mistakes to avoid. He has earned his hard-won wisdom, and shares a seasoned hospitality insider’s perspective in the book. Chase also offers a power plan to help any individual or group improve their purpose, performance, and profits.Chase is a columnist (“The Staffing Doctor”) for Hotel F&B magazine and a frequent blogger for the hospitality and food service industry. In addition, he has been a contributing writer for (and been featured in) the following publications: Cheers, F&B, Food Service News, Hot Spots America, Military Club & Hospitality, Nation’s Restaurant News, Night Club & Bar, and Top Shelf.Chase is an accomplished motivational speaker and trainer on the subject of food and beverage leadership and management.
