Donald Eisner is the CEO of the Absalon chain of hotels in Australia. In the
programme, we see Donald Eisner working as a bellboy, cook and cleaner while
supervisors monitor his performance, noting any mistakes. He has some triumphs, it
is true. In the kitchen, he successfully cooks several pancakes, for example, and, as a
housekeeper; he makes the beds correctly. The rest of his housekeeping, however, is
not a success, as he fails to clean any rooms to the company's required standards. At
the end of the programme, we see his supervisor taking him from room to room,
pointing out his mistakes.
Alex Jennings runs a successful chain of steak bars called Wayside Inn. He has a
reputation for demanding quality from his staff both in terms of food and service.
When he changes places with some of his staff, we see him fail a number of tasks in
the restaurant. As a waiter, he continually forgets to ask customers how they want
their steaks to be done and mixes up the orders completely when he has to serve five
tables at the same time. A few minutes later; disaster strikes when his lie becomes
caught under the drinks on a troy!

standards.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
People are often offered a job because of their technical skills. However, as they
progress in a company they find that the ability to communicate with others becomes
more and more significant. Nevertheless, experts with good technical knowledge
rarely succeed in explaining details of their wok to non-specialists.

Immediately after leaving college, Jane Burton became a food technician at Roston
International. Ten years later, after joining a competitor to take up the position of
training manager, she found that her communication skills were limited.
‘In my first week I had to make a presentation about food testing in front of 300 staff,”
she recalls. “They were bored for the whole time, mainly because I had no idea how
to do it. This experience made me realize that I needed to enroll on a course in
communication skills, and now I can happily speak to any group, on any subject,
prepared or even unprepared. The more speaking you do, the easier it gets.”
In today’s fast-moving world of electronic communication, people also need to be able
to express their thoughts clearly in writing. In all companies, though, the importance
of the spoken word remains unequalled for ensuring that things get done.
