Will Guidara, former co-owner and general manager of Eleven Madison Park in New York City, shares this counterintuitive piece of advice in his fantastic leadership book and memoir “Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect.”
He says it came from one of his restaurant guests — perhaps Tyrion Lannister?
This is just one of many pearls. I’ll share more in the future, but I recommend you pick up a copy. The audio version, read by the author, is excellent.
To anyone out there having a bad day, life is always going to be 50/50, and the hits (good and bad) keep coming.
Learn from the bad 50, be grateful for and enjoy the good 50, and just keep swimming (hopefully in a school full of wonderful family, friends, and collaborators).
