There was a trash can in the office. Overflowing. Ignored. Walked past, by leaders and staff alike. It sounds small, but it became a powerful reminder that culture isn't built in mission statements and strategy decks—it’s built in the little things we either accept or we don't. Great leadership is like that too. It's about stewardship and caring enough to tackle the tasks right in front of you, especially when no one is watching. https://lnkd.in/e4hvM8xH

🌎 Sustainability is showing up in very real ways across the vacation rental space: how guests choose, how listings rank, and how properties compete. A lot of operators already believe it matters. The bigger question is what to actually do with that and how to start without overhauling everything at once. This article gets into where the momentum is coming from and the kinds of changes that are already making a difference, from small operational shifts to how platforms are starting to factor sustainability into visibility. Worth a read if this has been on your radar but hasn’t quite made it into your day-to-day yet. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/gea5rkav #EarthDay #Sustainability #VacationRentals #STR #Hospitality
