  4. LEADING FOR IMPACT “I lead by example and am visible every day in all departments. I try to model what I expect and champion Blue Energy at every opportunity.” - Hilton GM “I focus on the Department Leaders to ensure they embrace the Blue Energy culture and provide the time and freedom for Team Members to participate. More importantly, I empower and support the Blue Energy Committee in all decisions.” - Hilton GMs “I play an active role in the Blue Energy Committee – not ‘doing’ the actions, but rather supporting and coaching others to take action that will result in better team and Guest engagement.” - Hilton GM “I am always looking for new ways to support and drive the culture. Blue Energy is not just about what forms are filled out and checks are checked off, it is about an attitude that starts at the top and permeates throughout the associates and Guests.” - Hilton GM “I am focusing on driving the team mentality with all, so that everyone from the hourly employee all the way up to the top sees that success is achieved when all parts are working together. We share one common goal – to deliver the most outstanding Guest experience every time. - Hilton GM

  5. IMPACT ON RESULTS “Driving culture has had a very positive impact on our property. We have seen great improvements in SALT scores and strong engagement in the community.” - Hilton GM “Blue Energy is part of the reason we have seen a great turnaround in our scores from 2011 to 2012 – as well as into 2013. We are seeing better revenues due to the improvements in service and culture with the team.” - Hilton GM “We have seen a big impact on morale since focusing on Blue Energy. Team members feel heard, valued and respected. It has given the hotel ‘One Voice’ when it comes to expectations about service and driving revenues.” - Hilton GM “Our Blue Energy is evolving into a very exciting culture at our property. This drives business because our team is strong, supportive and passionate which radiates throughout our hotel. Our guests can't help but to feel it and experience it the minute they walk through our doors.” - Hilton GM “We have completely changed our culture here to ensure every team member is inspired to produce what we call ‘Hilton Moments’ – those moments that will ensure a guest remembers our hotel and wants to come back again and again.” - Hilton GM
