The issue of leadership in the hotel industry is handled within the "directing function" in management. This function plays a very important role in directing personnel to work. Recognition of staff and collaboration with them is necessary for leadership to be effective. In addition, some contemporary methods should be applied for effective leadership in the hotel industry.
