Leadership Profile

Hyatt’s Leadership Profile clarifies what is expected of Hyatt’s leaders and the specific behaviors that successful leaders exhibit to achieve business results.

Be familiar with Hyatt’s Leadership Profile as the expectation and measure of your performance. Additionally, exhibiting these behaviors will help you hire, develop, evaluate and reward talent successfully.

Learn & Grow

Leaders are quick and curious. They are more likely than others to be energized by the challenge of the unfamiliar, to quickly understand new or complex situations and data, and to share that learning with others. They are also likely to be more open to feedback, to reflect and learn from experiences, and to recover quickly from setbacks. They probably also have a higher risk tolerance and greater resilience to recover from mistakes or failures than many of their peers. These behaviors and personal qualities are an adsvantage in becoming more effective as a leader over time.

Achieve Results

Leaders are action-oriented, understand how to effectively work through others, and are undeterred by challenges. They move quickly to address issues and tend to be comfortable making decisions even when the right answer isn’t totally clear. They are more likely to set clear expectations for colleagues on their team, hold their team to higher performance standards, and give direct feedback. At the same time, they tend to provide support to their team in order to achieve the goals—communicating, coaching and developing, helping them connect their individual work to a greater goal, and entrusting them to act. They are also more likely to see the bigger picture, think longer-term about their team’s talent needs, and to take a longer-term view of results that count.
