Many current leadership teams in the Travel, Leisure and Hospitality (TLH) industry lack experience in different industries, functions, sectors or geographies. As a result, the industry risks becoming insular and stagnant. Companies need to cross-fertilise with more external talent, and prioritise developing high-potentials to fill gaps in skill sets, and transform the sector into a magnet for high-calibre executives and graduates.
