How do I evaluate manager performance?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Use service outcomes, accurate reporting, expense control, communication, guest issues, and performance against consistently defined assumptions. Separate market changes from execution failures. A manager can influence operations without controlling every source of demand.

Review evidence and corrective actions rather than focusing only on one rating or revenue figure. The evaluation should connect each concern to a task the manager actually owns.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
