When I was the General Manager's Assistant I have worked in Beijing Zhongguancun Crowne Plaza Hotel as General Manager’s assistant in 2010. This General Manger, Mr. Raab, is a German and it was the first time for him working in Beijing. When he started to work with us, there was a big project for our hotel. We planned to apply for the 5-star hotel certification. Mr Raab appointed me to help him take in charge of this project, including organize the regular team meeting, communicate with department heads and contact with government officers. Mr Raab didn’t understand Chinese culture and employee’s working style and he often had conflicts with other management team members at the beginning. As his assistant, I suggested him to change his meeting schedule with management team, help him to understand some key members’ personality and background, and help him to maintain the good relationship with hotel’s owner. After one month’s effort, Mr Raab and I got the owner and management team’s recognition and the project of application went smoothly. However, before the final inspection by BJ Tourism Bureau, I found that we missed some important documents and new system of Engineering Department which was mandatory by Government. So I proactively made that documents with my peers and studied how to use the new Engineering system from our peer hotel. And then I coached the clerks in Engineering department how to use this system. Finally, through our effort, we passed the BJ Tourism Bureau’s inspection and got the 5-star hotel certification. From this project, I realized that communication skills are really important for a good leader. And find and resolve the problems proactively is very important as well.

Nice writing, hope the corrections are useful for you. After "BJ Tourism Bureau..." I was unsure of what you meant so the (?) shows this.
