As the day of the employee appreciation party approached, my nerves were increasingly on edge. This was my first major undertaking as the de facto resort manager—a symbolic gesture to encourage our team and usher in the new era I'd been tasked with helping create. And I was determined to make it a memorable, thoroughly enjoyable experience for every single person attending.
With a sense of urgency propelling me, I poured myself into every detail surrounding the event preparations. No stone could be left unturned, no element left to chance. This party needed to go off without a single hitch if I hoped to make the impact I was aiming for.
