Jobs to be done

job 1When the company has spent nearly 40 years as a single Saint Lucia resort, I want to execute its first international property successfully, so that the wellness format survives rather than losing ground to competitors while it stood still. source
job 2When the plan is to open 10 to 15 properties over the next 15 years, I want a professional leadership bench and a capital structure that does not require holding equity in every property, so that scale becomes achievable without the family alone carrying every new location.
job 3When the pace of running the business is unlike anything experienced before, I want to handle that intensity well rather than be overwhelmed by it, so that the excitement of the growth does not tip into being consumed by it. source
