A veteran hotelier with over 25 years experience in the hotel and tourism industry. Peter Alatsas, has travelled to some of the most exotic locations in the world. And it was during these travels that he delved into world philosophies, and world culture. In this his latest book, Diplomats and Doormats, he has selected a collection of essays and think-pieces and intertwines his unique world perspective with philosophy and management theories. In so doing, he makes this book not only an enjoyable read but also a must-have for business managers.
