About Matt Rolfe
COACHING ON THE ART OF GROWING AND SCALING LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS
Matt Rolfe is a coach, speaker, and entrepreneur who mentors the top ten percent of the hospitality industry toward unlocking their true potential.
As founder of Results Hospitality and Westshore Hospitality Group, he has worked with hundreds of leadership teams throughout North America. Beginning his career with companies like Bacardi and Labatt/Anheuser Busch, Matt has become an industry expert dedicated to helping leaders examine the human element of their businesses and execute effective team-building strategies unique to their needs.
Over his 15+ years leading Westshore Hospitality Group, Matt has studied hundreds of operations and identified what the top ten percent do that’s fundamentally different from the rest of the industry.
Asking the question, “What do they do that makes them stand out from the competition?” Matt has developed concepts that have been tested, challenged, proven, and continuously improved. Everything he coaches and advocates for is based on experience, successes, and failures.
Doing It All?
YOU MIGHT LIKE THE RESULTS, BUT ARE THEY SUSTAINABLE?
Designing smarter paths
Matt commonly sees leaders unintentionally racing burnout, hoping to beat it to success – which is often a losing strategy. Many are unwilling to ask for help out of reluctance to give up control, to let go of total responsibility, or to put trust in their teams. But Matt has a knack for finding a way in. He helps plant the seeds of a new leadership model in which the boss doesn’t always have to be the superhero. Where vulnerability, a willingness to trust and delegate, ignites team engagement and opens organizations to lasting successes and talent retention.
Damn right we’re different
How? We help our hospitality customers invest in their people to power the growth of their businesses. Rather than telling people what to do, we inspire leaders to form a clear vision, then own and apply their execution strategies. We adapt to each unique situation and those within it to build stronger core teams through leadership development. What does that translate into? Increased growth, profit and retention of valued people, and leaders equipped to expand their businesses without losing sight of who they are and where they’ve come from.
You Can’t Do It Alone
THE GROUNDBREAKING NEW BOOK BY MATT ROLFE
With a new outlook and mounting responsibilities, how do you keep success going? You have too many opportunities and too little time. In a world where indecision only leads to failure, how do you make the right decision that will help you achieve your goals?
This is where the real work begins.
Matt will show you how to maximize profit and scale your business with solutions focusing on the people behind your company. You’ll learn how to build a strong team and delegate effectively, with focused goals, inclusive strategies and open, impactful communication. The growth of your business depends on the people who work for you, and their success depends on you.
“I met Matt some time ago and started to work with him a couple of years later in 2015. He is an excellent speaker and coach who understands the hospitality industry through his many experiences.
The fundamental concept of empowering your people to achieve organizational goals is how the wheel begins to rotate. As it gains speed and you begin to feel the momentum, this is where change happens and becomes inevitable. He guides you every step of the way to put words into action. As this also defines your culture, it ensures consistency in your operation, quality of your product, and customer experiences. Because you can’t do it alone…”
“I spent the first 25 years of my career working 75-80 hours each week, trying to do it alone. Matt gave me the tools and the confidence in my team to step aside and let my leaders lead….and that they did. It’s been an amazing journey watching our team develop while allowing me to focus on the growth of our business and more importantly the growth of my family.”
“Strategy and execution must be inseparable. Understanding you can’t do it alone will expedite your execution abilities moving you towards your long-term goals quicker and more efficiently… We are all born with different abilities. Matt’s ability to understand your business and implement people, profit, and growth strategy is his true innate ability.”
“I’ve worked with Matt on several projects over the past few years. He invariably brings new insight to the conversation and challenges the team to get to the root cause of problems and not “fluff it up”. His approach makes people comfortable to discuss tough issues and still take responsibility to ensure plans are executed. He shows great leadership and gets the best out of people.”
“The tools, insights, and perspective that Matt shares in his book have been profound in elevating my leadership and results. Being a leader or restaurant owner can feel lonely sometimes and unlocking the power and energy that our teams can provide are paramount to achieving success and new results in our business. If you want to take your business, operating teams’ performance and leadership to the next level, this book is a must-read. ”
