CHIP CONLEY
Joie De Vivre Hotels
Chip Conley
   • Founder, executive chairman &
     chief creating officer of Joie de
     Vivre Hospitality, which is a chain
     of hotel/boutiques on the west
     coast US.
   • He founded it in 1987 at the age
     of 26.
   • He is a well-known businessman
     that graduated from Stanford
     University with a BA and MBA.
   • He has written multiple books
     such as “Peak: how great
     companies get their mojo from
     Maslow.
   • Chip Conley founded his
     company Joie De Vivre (joy of
     living) in a mission of creating a
     company based on ethics and
     goals.
Background
• He went to Stanford
  University and
  graduated at 23
• At the age of 26, he
  formed the company
  Joie de Vivre, currently
  the United States
  second largest and
  California’s largest
  independent boutique
  hotel collection.
• Conley wanted to
  create a company
  based on the joy of life,
  hence the company
  name
• His leadership practices have
  been featured in several
  popular media outlets including
  TIME, USA Today, and the Wall
  Street Journal.
• In addition to owning a highly
  successful company, he gives
  back to those in need by setting
  up events where he and his
  employees volunteer for causes
  such as AIDS, and he even gives
  a percentage of hotel stay
  revenues to certain
  organizations and foundations
  in need around areas where his
  hotels are located
About Joie De Vivre hotel
 -According to him, he wanted his customers to experience a sort
 of “identity refreshment” in their home away from home
 -He designed each individual hotel with a special theme, and that
 is partly what attracts so many stakeholders apart from his
 innovative management style.
 -His hotels cater to all segments of the market, from people who
 want an affordable, leisure vacation, to high-end business
 travelers.
• In 2001, in the midst of the dot.com bust and 9/11 attacks in New
  York City, the hospitality industry underwent a major loss in business

• Americans were boycotting anything that sounded French because of
  the Iraq war at the time the French pulled their troops, which made
  Americans feel like they were abandoned.

• People in America started calling fries freedom fries and basically
  started boycotting all things French

• The name of his hotel was joie de vivre and it was a huge hit on his
  company.
• Went to self help and stumbled upon Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.



               Facing economic and political issues
MASLOW and CONLEY
• From this book he found a new confidence in himself that he
  could re-model his company to follow Maslow’s pyramid.
• He credits this find as the reason why, even in the middle of an
  economic crisis, his company’s annual revenues began to
  increase significantly

• Between the years of 2001 and 2008, Joie de Vivre tripled it’s
  annual revenues during the dot.com bust and french boycots



 Being proficient in both psychology and business is the
smartest means of being successful as a 21st century leader”
Chip mgmt class
• “I believe that meaning at work is far more important than
  meaning in work. When employees believe in the work of the
  company, the whole Hierarchy of Needs is satisfied. “
• -Chip Conley (Getting More Mojo from Maslow)




• One of the most profound decisions I made during the depth
  of that last downturn was to start managing the business
  based on meaning and to start measuring meaning in various
  ways, from asking questions on biannual work-climate surveys
  to querying line workers in monthly staff meetings, “What’s
  the best experience you’ve had in the past month here at
  work?”
• -Chip Conley (Getting More Mojo from Maslow)
Chip mgmt class
Conley’s hierarchy of needs
• • Survival (psychological and safety)
• • Success (social and self-esteem), and
• • Transformation (self-actualization).



• By having more employees who feel that they have reached
  the self- actualizing stage, he believes the
  employees, customers, and investors will have a better feeling
  of self-actualization, and in turn the company’s objectives will
  be reached in a more effective and efficient manner.
Chip mgmt class
INTANGIBLES
• He also began to talk to other companies and their leaders
  and asking them what they focus on (pertaining to Maslow’s
  pyramid). He found that many of the companies were focusing
  on the lower levels of the pyramid, as opposed to the self-
  actualization portion, the intangible .

• Even though more than 90% of the leaders said they believe
  intangibles are important, less than 7% of them had a process
  to measure it (Partridge).

• This finding was inspiring to Conley because he realized that
  he needed to focus more on the people to create this said
  “Joie de Vivre” image; specifically employees, customers, and
  investors.
Maslow model & Mission / Vision
 • Using Maslow’s model, he began setting new company
   objectives and plans in order to become a better company as
   a whole. Even though he is concerned with Joie de Vivre’s
   success, he cares more about the people involved in making
   the success possible.



 • He began by planning ways to improve relationships with
   everyone his company was involved with, including the three
   stakeholders he believes to be the most important in a
   company: customers, employees, and investors
Chip mgmt class
Vision of Joie De Vivre by
Conley
• His vision for Joie de Vivre is   • Beginning as an
  to become the largest
  operator and creator of             entrepreneur with little
  boutique hotels in the United       experience, he was still
  States.                             confident that his long-
                                      term vision would one
• “We distilled our credo into a      day become true, and it
  two-word mantra, “Create
  Joy,” which is stamped into         is not far off now being
  the blue rubber bracelets that      that Joie de Vivre is
  all new employees receive
  during orientation and that         currently the second
  many veteran staffers               largest boutique hotel
  routinely wear.”                    collection in the
Mission

• His mission is “Creating Opportunities to Celebrate the
  Joy of Life”.
• This corresponds with his belief that his employees
  and customers should truly feel happy.
• He is more concerned with the people rather than
  making a profit, and with this mission, it shows his
  employees that he is a compassionate manager.
Chip mgmt class
Implementing & effects
• He began to ask all of his employees if they knew the mission of Joie
  de Vivre, which is “Creating Opportunities to Celebrate the Joy of
  Life”
• Conley came to realize that many of his employees did not know
  the mission or what they wanted out of their work experience, so he
  began to implement changes so that everyone was on the same
  page

• He began conducting annual questionnaires between each hotel
  manager and their employees, as well as a questionnaire for recent
  or recurring guests, about what they wanted out of Joie de Vivre

• After several times doing this, he found not only did the
  employees, including managers, begin to give him better responses
  about why they were working for his company or what they wanted
  to see happen within it, but he started getting more recurring
  customers
Even though Joie de Vivre’s singular goal is to “create
                    landmark destinations full of soul and personality” (Joie
 GOALS              de Vivre), Conley set several other goals in order to live
                    up to the meaning of Joie de Vivre.



• Manage his employees to have a true sense of happiness
  and self-fulfillment in the workplace so not only would this
  happiness produce good quality work, but they would
  reach the top level of Maslow’s pyramid even if they
  weren’t managers;

• Create a company that is not only known for their one of a
  kind hotels, but a company that is dedicated to it’s
  community and environment.
Employees
• The employees of Joie de Vivre have actual relationships with
  customers aside from catering to their needs. One of the ongoing goals
  of Conley is to increase the relationship between his employees and
  customers.

• He wants his employees to feel that they are making a difference in
  people’s lives, even if it is as small as giving them a clean and
  comfortable place to sleep.

• Conley, mostly involved with the planning and leading aspects of
  management, does add some influence to the organizing aspect of Joie
  de Vivre.

• To begin, he helps in organizing the employee roles. Since his company
  has three chains to it-
• • Hotels
• • Spas
• • Restaurants-
• Conley has to come up with different things he’d like each of the
  different employee roles to entail. He wants the hotel staff to be
  more than just a maid service, but to be “host families” instead.

• Helps to build actual relationships between employees and
  customers
Decision process
• Conley is a manager who is all about taking the opinions and
  suggestions of his employees and actually using them in
  practice.

• He values the input of his employees because they are the
  people who are on the job each day, so at times they may
  have better suggestions than he for a certain situation.
Theme of hotel and Chips role
• Takes the time to pick great locations for each one, he helps
  pick out the theme, and he sets the vision for how he wants
  customers to feel when they come to each specific venue.

• To him, organizing the facilities is a lot of fun and a challenge
  because he is always striving to be more innovative each time
  he opens up a new facility.
Leading
• He encourages people to complete their tasks in such different
  ways that makes them feel like they are not just working, but
  making a difference.

• Encourages people of all different backgrounds, whether it is
  cultural, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation, to compete
  with others to obtain better opportunities, such as being
  promoted to a manager position

• Makes his company a place of diversity where his employees
  do not have to feel like they are being cheated out of
  opportunities, and this motivates his employees even more
  because they feel respected and are able to look up to him for
  that.
Recruitment & Joie de Vivre
heart
• Conley developed a “Joie de Vivre Heart” that each new
  employee is introduced to. The heart has four values of the
  company that he wants all employees to know, which are:
• • Creating a unique corporate culture
• • Building an enthusiastic staff
• • Developing strong customer loyalty
• • Maintaining a profitable and sustainable business

• He introduces this heart to his new employees before they
  start training so that they get a sense of what he wants all
  employees to be apart of, no matter which job they are being
  hired for.
ETHICS
• Conley was a man very inspired by ethics, which is also one of
  the reasons he named his company Joie de Vivre. He always
  made sure that his employees and customers had full
  satisfaction and that no one was ever bothered by something.

• He even did studies on the Gross National Happiness index
  and wrote an equation for it. He has put his ideals of life into
  his company, which led to a greater success rate.

• Joie de Vivre has implemented Conley’s ethical beliefs into
  their company moto and vision, they simply do not want to
  sell sleep but want to create dreams.
Ethical work Chip has initiated
• Joie de Vivre this year alone has donated over 1.3 million
  dollars to local organizations where they are established.
• They have partnered with the Surfrider foundation for over
  five years to help clean beaches on the Californian coast
  where their hotels are located.
• Wherever Joie de Vivre has a hotel they think it is very
  important to get involved with the community. It is so
  important that it is one of the main criteria’s the general
  managers are evaluated on.
• They take 75 homeless people and provide them with a really
  good day .
• Also during the holidays they partner up with Glide kitchen to
  help provide 2000 meals each day, their employees work the
  breakfast shift.
• Joie de Vivre has been blessed with the ability to give back to
  the community and through Conley’s beliefs of ethics they do
  everything that they can do give to those who are just starting
  or those who need help.
Success

• Conley is nothing short of an inspirational man, he has
  changed the course of the business world by his thoughts of
  what people need and how to treat them and not to mention
  his business is well-known because of the time and effort he
  put into making it something spectacular.

• Joie de Vivre is famous because of Chip, because of his
  thoughts on how employee satisfaction is a main drive in how
  a Company should be run. He makes life seem simple and easy
  in a world where it is not, and you have to give him credit for
  that.
