This chapter discusses leadership as a key competence for tourism, hospitality and events (THE) facilities. It acknowledges that the area of leadership is complex and encompasses a range of different theories. The central tenet is to engineer innovation and creativity among those responsible for the management, development and operation of the facility. The chapter goes on to discuss leadership in the context of a group process; a personality or behaviour; and as a power, transformational or skills perspective.
