The Idea
Connection is the New Leadership Currency
Please Do Disturb is a leadership book rooted in radical hospitality, the idea that showing up, making room, and building belonging are the foundations of high performing teams and memorable experiences.
Rachel Alday built Abode Luxury Rentals into an Inc. 5000 company using these principles. Co-authors Linny Jones and Harte Logan bring leadership frameworks tested with organizations including Google, Disney, and The Getty Leadership Institute.
Together, they make the case that the disciplined practice of human connection, not scripts, SOPs, or polish, produces better outcomes for teams and the people they serve.
Every Chapter Returns to Three Questions
- Did you show up?
- Did you make room?
- Did you build belonging?
The answers form a practical framework for leaders at any level, in any industry, built for the moments that matter most.
The Framework
The Three Commitments
Please Do Disturb is organized around three commitments that apply to every person on a team, not just managers.
Commitment One
Show Up
Be present, set boundaries, and act from values.
- Give full cognitive and emotional attention
- Use the ACE framework: Acknowledge, Clarify, Empower
- Know your values and use them as decision-making tools
Commitment Two
Make Room
Anticipate needs, care over control, and practice emotional leadership.
- Listen before a need is spoken
- Be the host, not the boss
- Recognize that your energy is contagious
Commitment Three
Build Belonging
Set the tone, cultivate trust, and play the long game.
- Small moments into a bigger feeling
- Trust equals reliability, expertise, and motivation, over time
- Commit to people, not just outcomes
For Your Organization
