In this episode, Ben Campbell, the President and CEO of Hospitality America, shares why the traditional path from frontline roles to executive leadership is at risk in an AI-driven world, and what hotel companies need to do about it now. Ben discusses how he's challenging his executive team to rethink talent development, why cross-functional training across properties could be the new leadership pipeline, and why he's cautious about deploying AI tools to properties before solving for confirmation bias.
