Secrets to People Management Revealed

American restaurateur Will Guidara imparts wisdom he has learned from years of business in his new book Unreasonable Hospitality.

Key Details

  • Guidara managed to take Eleven Madison Park from a struggling New York City brasserie to the best restaurant in the world in 11 years. In his book, he reveals the secret to his success.
  • Owning a successful business isn’t just about knowing a market or how to crunch numbers. Building solid relationships with employees and customers is paramount. 
  • Guidara explains how going above and beyond for the customer is the key to success for every business. 

Why it’s news

Guidara’s restaurant was one of a kind, the best in the world, and not just because of the food.

The service Guirdara provided at his restaurant made it stand out from the rest. In Unreasonable Hospitality, Guidara recounts stories like the time the restaurant recreated a vacation for a couple who had to cancel their beach trip, filling a private dining room with sand. 

Another time the staff surprised a family with a sledding trip in Central Park so they could see snow for the first time. 

But Guidara didn’t just practice hospitality for his customers. The kindness and camaraderie extended to the kitchen and dining room staff.

Guidara explains how any business can have great success when the lowest employee is motivated to think about the business like the owner does. 

Every business is a hospitality business, Guidara argues. And every business can use his techniques to become successful by taking the customer above and beyond their expectations. 

Guidara imparts tips and tricks for people management not just from his own experience but from the experience of experts like fellow restaurateurs Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer.

Guidara has co-authored four cookbooks and received the WSJ Magazine’s Innovator Award.

Unreasonable Hospitality was published by Optimism Press and is available October 25, 2022.

debt ceiling

The U.S. Senate has announced hearings for committees to analyze the debt-ceiling bill passed by the Republican-led House last week. 

Key Details

  • Though the White House has stood firm in its refusal to negotiate the debt-ceiling terms with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the House passed a bill last week to jumpstart negotiations. 
  • Senate Majority Leader Chuch Schumer (D-NY) announced Monday that Senate committees would evaluate the recently passed bill.
  • While McCarthy’s bill attempts to bring President Joe Biden to the table, the bill is unlikely to pass in the Senate. 
  •  "The president says, 'I'm not going to talk to him until he offers a plan,’" McCarthy says. "Not only did we offer a plan, we passed it.”

Remote work has opened the door for many changing workplace traditions, including changing the nine-to-five workday. 

Key Details

The owner of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury is striking out on his own—shifting away from traditional broadcasting deals. 

Key Details

  • The bankruptcy of Diamond Sports Group in March has resulted in numerous sports teams attempting to void their streaming contracts. 
  • Two Phoenix, Arizona-based teams are making a similar attempt, shaking their traditional local streaming contract with Bally Sports Arizona to seek new opportunities. 
  • Both teams announced on Friday that games will be broadcast on over-the-air local television in Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma and that free broadcasts will be made available through streaming. 
  • Diamond has argued that the announcement is a breach of contract for the sports teams, while ESPN is warning that the decision could cost tens of millions of dollars in the short term for the teams. 
  • The team owner believes the change will “more than triple the reach” of their audience.
