In a significant move to enhance leadership in the hospitality industry, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts has unveiled its Comprehensive Cygnett Leadership Development Program (CLDP). This initiative aims to train both current and emerging leaders in the hospitality sector, marking a pivotal step in the company's ongoing commitment to nurturing talent, fostering innovation, and ensuring sustained growth.

The CLDP is an extensive nine-month training program, meticulously divided into three phases. It focuses on developing leaders who can adapt to the fast-changing market, improve guest satisfaction, and manage diverse teams effectively. Addressing the existing gap in skilled leadership within the hotel industry, this program is set to enhance operational efficiency, drive management innovation, and uphold competitive service standards.

"We recognize the importance of nurturing and empowering future leaders at Cygnett Hotels & Resorts. Today's competitive market requires a pipeline of visionary leaders who can help build and secure an edge over the rest. CLDP provides insight into real-life examples so hospitality leaders understand how the right mindset, attitude, and communication directly impact team performance," said Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, Founder & Chairman of Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.

The program's holistic design includes a structured framework covering people skills, leadership abilities, digitalization, strategic management of key hotel departments, HR management, finance for non-accountants, marketing, auditing, and cultural transformation. It offers a blend of reference materials, daily operational tasks, virtual sessions, assignments, and one-to-one interactions with industry experts. Aligning with international standards, the program culminates in an internationally recognized certification.

"The leadership development program offers an exceptional opportunity for our team members to develop advanced leadership skills, rethink strategies, and adapt to ensure the organization remains at the forefront of progress. This comprehensive program will empower our key leaders to foresee future trends and unlock new avenues for business growth," added Mr. Sachin Gaur, Associate Director of Learning & Development and Quality Assurance at Cygnett Hotels & Resorts.

CLDP is part of the broader Cygnett Learning Academy, which provides a variety of training programs, from job-specific sessions to brand immersion and soft skills development, catering to both internal and external participants. This academy has been instrumental in helping the company's team develop and acquire new skills throughout their careers.
