2.3 Prioritise objectives and targets to develop your own potentials:
According to my opinion my objectives are the to increasing hotel growth and also
developed plans which increasing hotel popularity. Objectives which are organizations-
 To provide those facilities which is according to customers demands and also according
to customers needs.
 The main objectives of Hellenic hotel manager to changes their organizations culture also
change others those functions and services which is affects organizations.
 The main thing to ensure in hospitality industry to growth of business and also fame of
business. Like each person know about the organizations
 To set prioritise objectives in organizations Hellenic hotel managers they directly linked
to the other companies and know about their strategies and implements them.
Target to develop potential before knowing about yourself first know about the own weakness,
strengths, desire believes. For my opinion leader has quality to improve their own characteristics
and skills which help to developed the organizational performance and also developed the
personal skills. Those things help to developed target market and monitoring emotions and
reactions. Those things help to become more effective leader (Kauppila, and Tempelaar, 2016).
To developed the target in potential to knowing the weakness and strengths from that we
improve own self-awareness. All those weaknesses and strengths help to shape how to reach a
goal. Weakness help to achieve many things and strengths help to take easily what you want to
achieve. As a Hellenic hotel manager I understand the weaknesses or strengths help to identify
own personal skills which is also helps to assessing the personal developments. If personal
development are easily held so manager prepare to hotel development planes according to
weakness and strengths. Their staff ensure the all organizationals weaknesses and strengths and
full fill them.
