The Quality Work In Any Grade Or Profile Works Itself And Can Be A Chance For Opening Of New Destiny.


The Leadership of Small Things

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the
lobby of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, the
couple approached the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the
night."Could you possibly give us a room here?" the husband asked.


The clerk, a friendly manwith a winning smile, looked at the couple and
explained that there were three conventions in town."All of our rooms are
taken," the clerk said. "But I can't send a nice couple like you out into
the rain at one o'clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to
sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to
make you folks comfortable for the night."


When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don't worry about me;
I'll make out just fine," the clerk told them. So the couple agreed. As he
paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, "You are
the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United
States. Maybe someday I'll build one for you."The clerk looked at them and
smiled. The three of them had a good laugh.


As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was
indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful
isn't easy.


Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he
received a letterfrom the old man. It recalled that stormy night and
enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them
a visit.


The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth
Avenueand 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a
palace of reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the
sky."That," said the older man, "is the hotel I have just built for you to
manage."


"You must be joking," the young man said."I can assure you I am not," said
the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth. The older man's name
was William Waldorf Astor, and the magnificent structure was theoriginal
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.The young clerk who became its first manager was
George C. Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that
would lead him to become the manager of one of the world's most glamorous
hotels.
