Leadership Article Summary.

The article I chose is about the difference in Leadership styles in hotels in different places. For example America compared to Australia. Australia gets their leadership styles from different places, and so does America. In the article they talk about hospitality and how hospitality in Australia was most influential.
The article covers educational/ethical leadership. The author says that leadership is thought about the same in most places, but the way they go about the leadership is different. In countries other than America, they are more polite and initiate leadership in different ways. I think the author is trying to reach older/middle-aged people. I think it will affect anyone who works in hotels or that type of work place. It will affect a large population if it were read in like a big setting, maybe at a place where hotel owners and workers get together? Or it could be required by workers to act in this manner, then it would make people more happy and satisfied by the hotel employees attitudes and manners. This is an important article about leadership because people daily have to deal with hotel employees and owners, and we all know that they don't always have the best attitudes. So maybe this could make a difference in that "industry".
I think this article is beneficial for people who work in hotels and all but I don't think that it would actually have an impact on the people who read it because the way people act, especially if they are older people, aren't going to change for anyone.
