Rosario, a housekeeping supervisor at a renowned hotel, felt her team falling apart. She had been promoted for her efficiency, but she lacked the tools to lead shifts that were chaotic, the team was demotivated, and customers were starting to complain. One night, after receiving severe criticism from her manager, she desperately searched for a solution. In an online community, someone mentioned "The Housekeeping Supervisor's Edge: Leadership to Success." The title resonated with her: it was exactly what she needed.
But Rosario hesitated: "Will a book really change anything? I'm not a born leader... Also, what will my team say if they see me reading this?" *. She feared that it was a waste of time or that she would be seen as an imposter. Her inner voice whispered to her: "Maybe it's better to go on as I am... at least I know how to survive."
The book came into his hands with a message on the inside: *"Leadership is not born, it is built"*. When she opened it, she found not only theories, but real cases and strategies to communicate with empathy, resolve conflicts and delegate intelligently. The author, a former supervisor turned Operations Manager, spoke from experience. Rosario felt that someone, at last, understood her challenges.
She decided to give it a try. She bought the book and promised to read a chapter each night. What convinced her was a testimony within the first pages: *"This book is not for perfect leaders, but for those who want to make their mark."
In applying the techniques, she faced resistance: some colleagues scoffed at his new morning meetings, and her insecurity returned when an employee questioned her decisions. But she found allies: colleagues from other hotels in a WhatsApp group recommended in the book, and testimonies from readers who had transformed their teams.
The crisis came when a mistake in the cleaning of a VIP suite almost cost her a warning. Rosario felt that all was lost: "What was the use of so much effort?" *. She wanted to resign, but she recalled a key chapter: "From Challenges to Opportunities."
The next day, she gathered her team. Using the tools in the book, she listened to their concerns, acknowledged failures, and devised a collaborative plan. For the first time, she felt her voice convey authority, not fear.
Nine months later, her team was the most efficient in the hotel. Employees were smiling, customers were praising the attention to detail, and Rosario was promoted to manager. But beyond professional success, she had regained her self-esteem: she now knew that leadership was a journey, not a destination.
Rosario returned to her routine, but with a renewed look. She implemented a mentoring system for new supervisors and used the techniques in the book to mediate conflicts between departments.
A year later, she was invited to give a talk at a hotel. There she shared her story and showed her worn copy of the book. Several attendees came up afterward: "Where can I get it?"
Today, Rosario is not only a respected leader, but a mentor. Her lesson is clear: "Leadership begins when you decide to grow, not just demand." And she always closes her talks with the same phrase: *"This book was my compass. Let it be yours."
