for each niche. In reality competition pushes for
nothing more but self-development and devel-
opment of the market. Coming back to the speci-
fications of our hotel, I would definitely mention
the boutique style of Republica. We have rela-
tively limited space, but we did the best to create
an unforgettable atmosphere for our guests, to
deliver hearty service, individual approach, tailor-
made services’ scope. Also, we are aiming to a
gastro-hotel positioning.
According to feedbacks and reviews
especially on TripAdvisor, your hotel is in the
best position, and the highest rates are for
cleanliness, staff, and service. What are the
main characteristics you consider when you hire
people?
will quote one of my favorite executives, Herb
Kelleher, since no one said it better: “You don’t
hire for skills, you hire for attitude. You can always
teach skills.” Of course, that’s not enough to fulfill
a leadership position where the skills, both hard
and soft, are very important. When people love
what they do, they will succeed, there is no way
around. When you are surrounded by a team,
which goes above and beyond to deliver the best,
when they have a pride for their personal and
team achievements, you can aim to the high-
est benchmark. Worth noting, that it’s a huge
work of the whole team day in and day out what
stands behind those high rankings.
