LEAD FROM THE CORE

Jim McPartlin

Grow leadership strengths through self-awareness, using the Enneagram.
After a hugely successful career working for the top names in hospitality, André Balazs, Ian Schrager, etc, Jim was hired by Forbes to lead workshops for those restaurants/hotels/spas looking to receive the Forbes 5-Star Rating. Along the way he created a leadership curriculum which became so popular that companies around the country were hiring him just to come and teach it. This generated a huge new revenue stream for Forbes and they created the VP role for Jim so that he could focus exclusively on that.

Through his extensive network of contacts, the popularity of the curriculum extended beyond hospitality and he started a consultancy company as well, teaching the same curriculum to companies as diverse as XL Construction (they do about $800M a year in sales) and Chanel. The book will show readers how to tap into their own leadership strengths through self-awareness, which he teaches using the Enneagram (of which he is a board certified expert). Each chapter will tackle challenges that are common whether you are the CEO of a startup, manager of a team or even just starting out, such as conflict, collaboration and public speaking.

Jim McPartlin began his career in management training at the Walt Disney Company in 1985. He would later spend 10 years with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in San Francisco, in a variety of positions including area director of operations and vice president of human resources. McPartlin has worked with W Hotels Worldwide, opening W Hollywood, and serving as director of brand operations for the western region and general manager for both W San Francisco and W New York - Times Square. He has also held senior-level positions with André Balazs Properties and the Ian Schrager Company.

Training has always been a passion for McPartlin. He considers mentoring to be of the highest calling and proudly points out that he keeps in touch with many of the managers who worked for him over the years and have gone on to illustrious careers.
