Cadre Book of the Month?

Guidara's insights into the essence of exceptional service in the hospitality industry echo our dedication to impactful client engagements.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." ?
