Fit to Lead: Harnessing the Power of Fitness for Exceptional Leadership

Image
Fitness is one of the most important factors in making a great leader. To begin, being physically fit builds resiliency and energy, which are important traits for dealing with the demanding nature of leadership. A healthy leader shows others how to be disciplined, determined, and persistent, and they want to follow their way. Regular exercise also makes the mind clearer and sharper, which helps leaders make good decisions and deal with problems in the best way possible.

Their dedication to health shows that they are committed to personal success, which gives people faith in their leadership skills. Leading by example by living a healthy life creates a culture of happiness within the company, which is good for everyone's health and productivity.

Millennials and their online consumer experience in the travel industry

Image
As mentioned above, the objectives of this article vary by understanding the common attributes of millennial travellers, factors affecting their consumer experience, and how it influences their buying behaviour during pre-tour planning. The generational  cohort  is characterised by the years of birth, which can last 20–25 years, or if it takes one birth group to be born, age, and have children of their own.

Voice of the nation - Sri Lanka Tourism _ Decisions and Challenges!!

Image
There have been multiple ideas in terms of re-opening the country for tourists and I would like to address some of these misconceptions through this article.  The recent article on Daily Mirror stated as; <<  Sri Lanka Tourism has consider opening up the country for foreign travellers under two options which include tourists undergoing a mandatory 14-day quarantine period after arriving here or travelling under a strict travel bubble, one option which is under consideration is opening the country for travellers from all countries, but they will have to undergo a minimum 14-day quarantine period after arriving here.

We fail to understand the reason why we were so committed to that job or the company? There are several commitments, that force us to stick with our organisations;  Affirmative Commitment When an individual is loyal to their company, that implies that they choose to remain with their organisation. Usually, they agree with the company priorities, believe like they blend within the organisation and are pleased with their job. Employees that are affectively dedicated feel respected. Serve as representatives for their company and are usually essential assets for that particular organisation.   Continuance commitment Possible explanations for the need to remain with companies differ, but the critical reasons for this are the shortage of job options and remuneration outside. A strong indication ...

I ntroduction   The current coronavirus crisis has put many industries in a standstill, and the tourism industry is one of the most affected sectors of all. A great study of the pandemic of business by Liebowitz, J. (2020) explains how COVID-19 had affected globally, such as supply chain, logistics, operation method, losing out key competent staff, managerial and organisational behaviours, ethical dilemma, and so on. However, this article is more focusing on the essential factors emerging on the behavioural side.  George, B. (2013) pointed out that the leadership of an organisation is not a simple job irrespective of the size, it might be lonely at times and faces constant challenges to fulfil the complex needs of the people they represent.
