The panel concensus was that today’s CEO’s work differently than their predecessors. We live in a 24/7 society, where ceo’s work with a hands on mentality. Jay Shah agrees, recounting his past experience while working at a hotel, where he also lived gaining experience from covering nearly every job needed to be done at the small hotel. It’s important that managers at his hotel stay on top of the rooms, and customer service. These days you don’t have to be concerned about media reviews, but online reviews from customers.

Ms. McKeon says that technology is always on, and intrusive, but improves not only the home-life, but provides better client service. The most important skill a a person could have is mastering management.

need to stay within the process and within reach of being scrutinized.
