I know that they had all their employees read good to great and are still searching for the hedgehog concept or at least that's what they told their employees. I think you and they know what it is that they are good at. Creating/Building/Managing a great product and selling it to someone who can make it grow and has the funding behind them. Look at their website and you'll see the same Hotel location listed for years. You'll also see that they are more focused on profits than the people and culture that made them a small yet desirable company to work for. I understand that they operate no different than a public company and only care about how much money each of the partners can make. Very talented group, but like all good things must come to an end. You'll also see that the founder and CEO is less and less visible and turning his reins over to money hungry wolves which once used to be visionary and pioneers. They have small money and looks like they can only fund two hotels a year if they are lucky. Good blog ! Great synopsis.
