The Michelle Pascoe Hospitality Podcast · 2026-05-26 · 8 min
Building a leadership pipeline in hospitality means investing in your managers' skills, confidence, and capacity before a crisis forces your hand. Michelle Pascoe, Certified Speaking Professional with over 30 years in the Australian hospitality industry, explains why promoting without a development plan sets managers up to struggle and clubs up for costly, avoidable turnover. If your best manager resigned tomorrow, who would step up - and are they actually ready? In this episode, Michelle draws on conversations with three of the sharpest leadership minds she has interviewed this month - Christin Marvin, Hanna Bauer, and Rich Ellis - to bring together a practical three-layer framework for building leaders who last. Michelle Pascoe's core argument is this: a leadership pipeline is not a spreadsheet or a succession chart. It is a living, breathing investment in your people.
