being offered to their customers in right prospect. Although, both the hotels are having a great
infrastructure which somewhere attract millions of people to use their services for once and

difference in between MARRIOTT and CLAYTON CROWN and they are working in perfect

demand as well. Therefore, they may be having a great management style which helps them to
have a smooth functioning of company and somewhere has to determine policy and procedure of
organisation. There are various management styles and these are as follows:

decision.
 The managers does not communicate
with their employees on regular basis as
they think that policy and procedure is
enough to guide the employees in their
working system.
 In, this hotel the human resource
manager does appoint various fresher

productivity of workers and this theory was developed by the Fredrick Taylor. This theory says
that management is responsible for study of different task and although the workers are
responsible for them in right manner (Arends, 2014). Moreover, they are responsible for creating
a assembly line and atmosphere in better manner, because employees are those who do menial
jobs.

working in industry. Informal group somewhere also help company to have a coordination in
effective manner as well.

criteria and somewhere having a different styles of handling the firm and thus it is being different
from the other particular factors as well. In addition to this, it is quite seen that there are different
ways which is somewhere used by hospitality industry as well and it does also offers the various
products in proper manner to customers and this also lead that it does not exploit any one of
them.

both have different vision, mission and targets as well. Moreover, in this, managers are bringing
into unique thing which is helping them to have proper running of their business and there are
different major functions which make them to satisfy their needs and wants of clients (Arnold,
and Boggs, 2015). Leaders and managers are those which are having power to handle various
situations on their shoulder and thus, they also manage group of people and although they also
3

provide solution to their colleague when they get stuck somewhere out. Being a junior
consultant, it is a needed concept to consider the required qualities in leaders and managers in
appointing an enterprise. Moreover, managers in hotel industry find many problems in their
working and thus, they perform various roles at workplace. Qualities the leaders hold in different
hotels are as follows:
Leaders of Marriott Hotel Leaders of Clayton Crown Hotel
It has been seen that leaders and managers of
hotel have to be very active in their working
and need to make policies and procedures
which have to be followed by employees and
needed qualities in their leader area as
follows:-
1. Communication: Leaders in Marriott

somewhere with all such, they are
specialist in working and committed
towards their task and complete the
same on time as well.
hotel.
1.3 Various communication procedure in the chosen business.
Effective communication is such which make firm to perform in right contrast and thus
proper concept is indispensable for both the industry somewhere in formal and informal way or
manner and thus it make them to have clear thought about minimising the time period taken in
completing the task (Aulton and Taylor, 2017). Marriott hotel and Clayton Crown does adapt
various communication process for transferring important information and data to one person to
another and even in department as well. Moreover, effective process in which interaction as
under:
 Upward correspondence: This is that which is opposite of Downwards communication
as it bring to lower level into consideration and communicate with the senior
management of company. This is known as two way communication procedure which
leads to have an effective working in organisation and thus, employees do provide
feedback to their senior managers regarding their working scenario and also does tell
about the environment in which they are working and for satisfaction and comfort level
of workers the top executives take corrective action for them so that they can bring on
effective working in right way.
 Downward communication: This communication is an opposite part of upward
communication and thus it leads to have an proper interaction of top employees with their
lower level employees and thus it helps the senior manager to speak up about their policy
and procedure and also mission and vision of hotel so that they can work according to
such only (Babbie, 2013). Moreover the higher authority does transfer the messages like
orders, guidelines and hierarchical structure etc. and for such thing they use various
channels like messages and composed, so that coordination can be bought in between the
junior and senior level and somewhere the Marriott hotel does uses downward
communication hierarchy as this help them to interact with their employees and provide
them accurate information as well.

1.4 Various culture in organisation and having alteration in chosen business.
For the effective organisation and thus culture also make assume as important part and it
is somewhere a motivating and inspiring employees. Although in this various angles are also
being incorporated and for such example are (dreams, convictions and standardised) for having a
dynamic work in better manner.
Moreover, organisation is such who is embracing the powerful society, which is
combining all goals and representative can perform their working at better workplace. Moreover
it is quite important for methods which is related to subordinates as this cooperates and
somewhere it also offers various information for the way of life in correct manner as well
(Bianchi and et. al., 2011). Although culture is something which is being helpful in achieving
more competitive advantage and such are as under:
Hierarchical culture: This is something which is very much reflecting the light and thus
it lights in facts and which influences various corporation and it has seen that their working
culture is successful. Marriott hotel is such which is using such culture for retaining their
working in within organisation. Moreover, there are large number of representatives which they
can adopt the various culture and this is something which work in more easier way and
somewhere also manages the issues and problems in a perfect manner as well.
In the various hierarchical structure, the senior and subordinate managers are having
responsibility to manage and control different thing to have some specific working under them
only. Moreover, this is something which is having a clear objectives and direction in which they
perform to attain the desired goal and objectives of firm (Cavanagh, 2012). Hence, it can be seen
that there are various kind of culture is affecting the working environment of business which has
to be maintained and controlled in proper manner as sometime culture do help hotel industry to
improve their service as many customer come which has different culture and managers has the
responsibility to manage them in right manner and thus this thing somewhere make them to
attain the higher profits in ease manner.

numerous obligation as well. Although with all such I have to create and develop a healthy and
good relation among different department so that ease can be seen that hierarchical objectives
and the destination in perfect way in proper way (Cummings and Worley, 2014). Some aptitude
is such which deals with hotel and it also practises various things like:
Effective communication: This is that which is being required by everyone to perform
in better manner and it also considered as important aspect from business point of view and
somewhere this help in attaining goal and objective in proper manner. Thus communication also
help in making proper decision in industry and also help in making a coordination among the
various people and department as well and such thing is having a indispensable in creating and
acquiring various aptitudes for speaking different things with my partner and making customer
influenced with this in a position with successful way.
Decisional ability: This is another aptitude test which somewhere help industry to bring
regulatory and having a managing which handles the circumstances and along with this they can

obligation in management criteria which is been settle among goods and preferences as well
although it is also related with the issues like profitability and then having a two representatives
and corporations as well (David, 2011). I required to consider all such criteria like which
representative management, selections and having a motivation of various methodologies and

Problem solving ability: Problems can occur anytime in business and it is required to
maintain all such in effective manner and thus it has the quality to have any type of problems and
issues which can handle the different situation in right contrast and having a positive for industry
operations and making for major functions. As a manager of association, I an having

2.2 Personal skills as strength, weakness, opportunities and threats.
I am a manager of Marriott hotel, it is required for me to analyse the strength, weakness,
opportunity and threats. Moreover this is something which is helping me to develop the ability
and skills of development as well. Although with all such, I can improve my skills for the
direction as well and can learn how to handle the leading part as well and with whole
development as well. SWOT analysis of mine as follows:
Strength:
 Right direction: I can provide the right direction to the whole staff of company and thus
it makes them to perform in better manner and thus right direction of working can be
done when the staff knows the industries mission and vision which has to be attained.
 Motivating employees: I can make my team member to perform in better manner and
thus they can provide them motivation in right way so that they can also increase their
performance and productivity as well and it will result into effective working.
Weakness:
 Low confidence: When goes with the work part I feel less confident in working and
according to such the thing a proper guidance can be provided to them as employees will
not be able to perform efficiently. Somewhere this will lead them for profit and sales.
 Stressful: I suffer from a lot stress at the time of working as a heavy work is being done
by me. As with all such it result into not be able to manage the operations and functions
in right manner of hotel. Moreover this result into minimisation of productivity toward
their work and this will also lead towards less performance.
Opportunity
 Technology: I have to go with technology to perform better in market and thus
availability of different technology make them to have an effective working and although
with such a new policy and procedure can be made and it help in running out the
successful business.
Threats
 Competitors: There are different managers who has various skills in them but they do
not posses every ability in them and I am also a same like others. I do have a lot skills
and knowledge but not every ability. I need to learn many other things to make myself
more effective in working and towards the business of other hotels.

 Changes in environment: Moreover, there are various things which include various
political, economical and social changes in market etc. changes in environment is there in
rapid way which cannot be adopted by me in right contrast and it leads to have better
performance of organisation. This is somehow the big treat of my career.
2.3 Goals and objectives is for developing own expectations.
There are various companies who already set their goal and objectives. Somewhere the
Marriott has also being set their objective so that staff of industry can work in right direction and
in proper manner as well. It is required by me to analyse the opportunity which can help in
interpret skills and expectation. Moreover, it is increasing the knowledge and abilities in
performing better and success for long term as well. The main motto is to stay calm in every
situation which does help to not to have any tension and thus it is work load as well. Although
this will help in providing training to employees of hotel so that they can perform in better
manner and thus it make to improve productivity and gaining perfect result.
Therefore, second goal is such which help in enhancing the level of confidence and such
thing make to have activities and functions in proper manner as we number of customer and
consumer which has generated more income and revenue in right track. As such thing is that
which help to expand the business operations and somewhere functions in the perfect was as
