Shelley is to be commended for her leadership of LTD Management during a time of tremendous growth from a small, localized franchisee of mid-scale properties, to one with a regional presence operating upscale hotels under all the major brand flags. Although I haven't had the opportunity to work directly with Shelley, it is obvious that her leadership style is one that builds loyalty and trust from subordinates, many of whom enjoyed a blossoming career under Shelley's guidance.
