Foreword from Dame Irene Hays
My career has taken me from running councils in the North East to government departments in Whitehall. Along the way I have been fortunate to work with many brilliant people. That said, and as I have commented many times, given the choice between working with someone holding a business qualification from Cambridge or Harvard and a member of our Senior Leadership team here at Hays Travel – I would choose our team every time. The can-do, collaborative, and supportive approach of every member is the glue that binds us and the foundation of our future growth and success. It’s because you are so brilliant that I have prepared this guide for our Hays Travel leaders. I’m a firm believer in
self-awareness and group development – individual and collective growth will keep us on a continued trajectory of success. The guide sets out Hays Travel’s most valued leadership traits so we can reflect on where we are strong, and where there is room for improvement. I hope that you find it useful and that we can learn from each other, leaning in and asking for help and guidance where we need it, offering it in turn to colleagues who ask for help. We are ambitious here at Hays Travel, for ourselves and our business. We are in an exciting time in our growth and I could not be happier to have you as a travel companion…
