Bonita Bay Club

Bonita Bay Club is pleased to report that initial assessments indicate minimal damage. Our main challenge is power outages affecting a majority of club facilities, which prevents us from reopening until full electricity is restored. We will remain closed until further notice.

The Secret to Achieving Greatness; Frederick Fung, CEO & General Manager, Bonita Bay Club, Florida (it changed his entire career) Imagine being the General Manager for one of the BEST private clubs in the entire country and refusing to be nominated for an award (that you truly deserve!). “I don’t need it.” Below are THE TOP 3 things that I learned about LEADERSHIP from Fred Fung, the General Manager of the Bonita Bay Club in Florida during my visit and training/keynote presentation with his team. 1.YOU NOT ME Not “my way”, but “our way”. Carry someone else ahead of you across the finish line. Authentically put others AHEAD of YOURSELF. My friend Fred shared this quote by Harry S. Truman?that he lives by and that has changed the trajectory of his entire career. "It's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care who gets credit". It is not about him.?It's not about his needs.?He is able to use an approach that I talk about for leaders called “ERASE YOU”.?At work, he puts his employees needs ahead of his own.?He puts the member’s needs ahead of his own.?He removes obstacles and barriers to enable others to succeed.?He doesn’t need to be in the photo.?He would rather be “anonymous” in his contributions. 2. CARE DEEPLY “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care”- Theodore Roosevelt As part of his role, he is often required to make massive decisions within minutes.?The influencer for those decisions always remains most heavy for OTHERS. After conducting a KEYNOTE/TRAINING SESSION for his team, I began to understand even more the impact of his approach. “This is the BEST job I’ve ever had.?I’ve been here for 20+ years, and everyday I’m able and encouraged to learn more, to challenge myself, and even do more.” Fred celebrates his team.?Knows every employee by name and is careful to inject something personal about them when he introduces me. 3. DON’T GO DEEP Simplify DECISIONS AND INFORMATION- You don’t always need to go DEEP (nor do you have the time to do it) As a leader, you don’t need to know everything. Now as a GM, he only goes “deep” on things that matter.?Items that will enhance his employees’ work engagement.?Items that will enhance their members’ experience.?He TRUSTS that he has selected the right team to make their own RIGHT DECISIONS.?He empowers them, removes barriers, and gets out of the way for them to accelerate.
