Luca Allegri, Managing Director of Bristol Paris

“The most difficult for a leader who advocates employee autonomy can be to stimulate initiatives within teams that are not used to it. That's why recruitment is crucial.” Managing Director of Bristol Paris and Vice President of Operations of the Oetker Collection, Luca Allegri was also the 2017 promotional sponsor of the Luxury Hotelschool. He meets regularly with our students to share his vision of management and leadership.

“Listening, empathy, closeness and patience are natural and essential qualities to which during his career we combine the ability to communicate well, accompany and inspire his teams to share one's vision and transmit his passion. I think I'm a participatory leader. Every employee must consider the company his own, hence the importance of well-being and entrepreneurial spirit.”

“The motto of Oetker Collection — We are host of choice creating meaningful connections in endearing places — applies first to the relationship between teams and managers. Feedbacks must be fair and respectful, and you should never be afraid of difficult conversations.”

“When the role of managers is to manage everyday life by accompanying employees, the leader must necessarily take a step back and step back to perfect his vision and understand the relationship with the triptych teams, customers and shareholders.
