Tools of a Leader: "Stick With It!"


I was recently asked what quality I have that I felt most attributed to my career. My response was easy, it’s my ability to stick with it. I have considered throwing in the towel on a project many times, but my drive to see things through always wins out.

At this point in my career, I know that any good deal dies ten deaths before it comes to life. For instance, our Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton-Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody nearly never got off the ground. However, the hotel celebrated its one-year anniversary this month and today it ranks #2 out of 174 hotels in Atlanta on TripAdvisor. 

While it wasn’t always easy for me to accept the lengthy delays, I did gain another valuable quality: patience. Deals won’t always come to fruition in your time frame, but they will when the time is right.

Do your research, involve your team of experts, don’t take rejection personally, practice patience and if you believe in the project, stick with it!
